THERE  is  a  rising  call  for  aids  in  public  Divine  Service  beyond  tliose  supplied 
by  Hymn-books  —  tliose  litirrgies  only  of  song.  The  Hymn-books  used  in 
all  Churches,  even  in  those  that  oppose  stated  forms  of  prayer,  are  really  Prayer- 
books,  since  many  favorite  hjonns  are  prayers.  Indeed,  these  books  show  signs  of  a 
somewhat  ''  advanced  ritual"  ;  for  the  forms  of  prayer  which  they  furnish  are  not 
in  i)lain  and  simple  speech,  but  are  highly  artificial  with  meter  and  elaborate  with 
rhyme,  and  are  artistically  wreathed  with  a  fourfold  chain  of  harmony.  We  all  are 
praying  out  of  a  book ;  we  are  even  singing  our  prayers. 

In  a  multitude  of  congregations  the  reasonable  demand  has  arisen  that,  since 
aids  in  one  department  of  Public  Service  may,  with  universal  approval,  go  to  this 
length,  such  aids  should  also  take  on  some  breadth,  supplying  needs  now  evident 
in  other  departments.  With  an  attempt  at  some  such  completeness,  and  for  the 
sake  of  unity  of  plan,  the  aids  which  this  Book  offers  are  arranged  as  an  organic 
system ;  yet  any  congregation  may  easily  select  and  use  only  such  materials  as 
are  edifying,  whUe  giving  the  system  more  or  less  regard  or  none  at  all. 

THE  FORMS  LARGELY  SCRIPTURAI, 

No  attempt  has  been  made  at  compilation  on  the  broad  field  of  Liturgies, 
ancient  or  modern,  since  several  books  of  distinguished  merit  offer  on  that  field  a 
supply  adequate  for  pulpit  use.  For  the  most  part,  the  plan  of  the  work  set  the 
humble  but  pleasant  task  of  seeking  out  and  systematically  assigning,  on  a  monthly 
and  a  yearly  calendar,  portions  of  Holy  Scriptui'e  for  the  various  uses  of  worship  and 
instruction.  Of  the  more  than  two  thousand  tkree  hundred  portions,  above  four 
hundred  are  given  in  full,  and  the  remainder  by  reference  to  the  Bible.  A  few  usages, 
traditional  from  ages  almost  apostolic,  have  been  added,  on  the  principle  that  the 
heritage  from  the  whole  past  of  Christ's  Church  is  neither  to  be  refused  in  an  attempted 
independence  nor  abused  in  a  servile  imitation,  but  used  according  to  our  own  liberty 
in  Christ  Jesus,  in  such  manner  and  extent  as  meet  the  wants  of  this  new  day. 

THREE   CHARACTERISTICS  :    SCRIPTURAL,   CONGREGATIONAL,   WORSHIPFUL 

Three  cardinal  purposes  may  be  said  to  have  shaped  this  compilation :  To 
gather  and  assign  on  a  yearly  scheme  a  reasonably  full  and  balanced  presentation 
of  those  portions  of  Holy  Scripture  most  fitted  for  public  worship  and  instruction  : 
To  bring  all  the  congregation,  young  and  old,  into  large  and  active  participation  — 
a  common  worship  :  To  provide  in  every  Service  the  direct  offering  up  of  praise  and 
prayer  to  the  living  God,  who  in  Christ  makes  Himself  known  to  us  as  the  Father 
and  the  Son  and  the  Spirit. 

THE   CALENDAR  :    AN  ANNUAL   GOSPEL  HISTORY 

In  any  large  presentation  of  the  Bible,  some  method  is  requisite.  Since  God 
in  His  progressive  revelation  in  the  Scriptures  saw  fit  to  adopt  the  historical 
method,  that  method  is  certainly  open  to  our  Christian  Uberty,  and  seems  com- 
mended to  our  Christian  wisdom  in  preference  to  any  method  dictated  by  some 
doctrinal  system  that  men  have  devised.  To  reproduce  in  grand  outhne  the 
simple  story  of  the  Son  of  God — is  not  this,  of  all  methods,  the  most  natural  to 
faith  and  love,  the  most  impressive  on  feehng  and  on  memory  ?  Is  it  not,  as  against 
unbelief,  the  method  most  strongly  assertive  of  the  Gospel  as  being  not  wise  opinion 


IV  PREFACE 

or  logical  argument,  but  historical  fact  9  For  the  Gospel  fundamentally  is  the  record 
of  the  manifestation  of  God  in  the  flesh :  all  the  great  doctrines  of  grace  move 
in  a  procession  of  actual  historic  events.  When  this  line  of  facts  is  set  forth  in  that 
observance  of  anniversaries  which  is  natural  to  man,  some  sort  of  Christian  calendar 
for  the  year  is  the  result.  The  Calendar  here  provided  commemorates  no  apostle 
or  saint,  and  further  hmits  itself  to  the  few  cardinal  facts  in  the  work  of  our  Lord 
as  the  Victim  and  the  Victor  Savior ;  adding,  however,  an  observance  of  the  New 
Year,  and  a  general  Fast  Day  and  Thanksgiving  Day. 

USE    OF  THE  REVISED  VERSION 

The  selections  of  Holy  Scripture  are  from  the  Revised  Version,  with  the  read- 
ings and  renderings  preferred  by  the  American  Committee  of  Revision  as  published 
by  the  English  Revisers.  The  question  of  Versions,  however,  has  here  no  practical 
reference  to  the  New  Testament ;  since  with  few  exceptions  the  selections  printed 
in  full  are  from  the  Old  Testament — those  from  the  New  being  shown  mostly 
by  reference.  Whatever  may  be  the  reserve  in  the  general  Christian  verdict 
in  this  country  regarding  the  New  Testament  Revision,  it  is  undeniable  that  the 
Old  Testament  gains  in  the  Revision  a  distinct  approach  to  the  Word  as  originally 
given  from  the  Holy  Spirit.  To  reject  such  gain  might  make  void  a  chief  claim 
of  this  book,  since  its  fundamental  principle  pledges  it  against  holding  *'  the 
traditions  of  men  "  above  the  Word  for  which  we  all  proclaim  our  reverence. 

As  to  the  further  question  of  adopting  the  recorded  preferences  of  the  American 
Committee,  it  was,  and  it  is,  occasion  of  regret  that  such  a  sweeping  innovation 
should  be  added  to  the  number  of  which  this  work  may  already  be  accused. 
Involving  change  in  a  familiar  rendering  of  the  Divine  Name  in  the  Old  Testa- 
ment, it  might  seem  to  pass  the  limits  set  by  modesty  and  reverence.  Yet  hesi- 
tancy was  precluded,  first  of  all,  by  the  imperative  principle  above  rereiTed  to ;  for 
in  the  Old  Testament,  evidently,  the  renderings  of  the  American  Committee  are 
less  bound  by  mere  tradition,  especially  as  concerns  the  Divine  Name ;  moreover, 
the  avoidance  by  the  American  Revisers  of  expressions  needlessly  obscure  or  offen- 
sive to  modern  ears,  renders  larger  portions  of  the  Word  available  for  a  public  use. 

Wherever  in  the  Hebrew  text  the  Divine  Name  ''Jehovah,"  in  its  Hebrew  form, 
occurs,  the  Name,  Jehovah,  is  here  given  instead  of  "the  Lord"  and  "  God"  of  the 
Enghsh  Versions  —  a  change  which  nothing  but  custom  will  reconcile  us  to,  but 
which  brings  us  nearer  the  inspired  utterance  in  the  Old  Testament.  For  the 
Hebrew  word  for  "  Jehovah"  is,  hke  "Jesus,"  a  proper  Name;  and  no  more  than 
"  Jesus"  is  it  to  be  changed  by  us  to  Lord  or  God :  it  was  the  Name  chosen  and 
expressly  revealed  by  God  Himself,  who  also  declared  it  to  be  His  "  Memorial 
Name  "  by  which  He  would  be  known  "  unto  all  generations  "  [Ex,  iii,  15  ;  vi,  2,  3]. 
In  a  few  passages  the  English  Revision  preserves  this  great  Name  ;  but  in  about 
five  thousand  passages  it  follows  the  Enghsh  Version  of  1611  in  setting  aside  God's 
own  revealed,  personal,  covenant  Name  for  a  word  ("  Lord  ")  which  is  not  a  Name, 
and  which  is  used  as  the  translation  of  not  less  than  ten  other  Hebrew  words ;  of 
which  ten  words  rendered  "  Lord,"  four  are  applied  to  God,  and  the  others  to  men, 
heathen  idols,  etc.  Then  in  about  three  hundred  other  passages  the  English  Re- 
vision changes  the  same  proper  name  "  Jehovah  "  into  yet  another  word,  the  gen- 
eral term  "  God,"  which  also  is  used  as  the  translation  of  several  other  Hebrew 
words.  All  this  confusion  is  avoided  when  we  accept  the  Divine  Name  which 
Divine  Inspiration  chose  to  reveal.  Also,  it  may  be  no  slight  gain  when  we  thus 
permit  to  the  Old  Covenant  its  individuahty,  its  proper  flavor  distinct  from  the  New. 


PREFACE  V 

The  compiler  has  not  taken  the  Uberty  to  vary  from  the  suggestions  of  the 
American  Committee  except  in  rare  instances.  Beside  a  few  slight  adaptations  for 
the  introductory  sentences,  there  are  probably  scarcely  a  dozen  noticeable  varia- 
tions. To  these  must  be  added  the  Lord's  Prayer,  whose  form  in  the  Revised 
Version  is  so  unfamiliar  that  the  time  for  change  from  the  words  so  precious  by 
long  devotional  use  seems  not  quite  yet  come  —  especially  as  the  long-used  words 
are  not  out  of  accord  with  the  Revised  Version,  and  are  fully  in  line  with  all  Biblical 
teachings.  However,  the  word  "Lead"  (in  "Lead  us  not  into  temptation"),  not 
showing  a  clear  agreement  with  New  Testament  teaching,  is  here  changed  to 
"  Bring,"  as  in  the  Revised  Version. 

VARIOUS  PARTS  OP  THE   SERVICE 

The  Introductory  Sentences  are  selected  from  the  Scriptures  and  assigned  to 
each  Service,  Morning  and  Evening,  as  giving  the  key-note  to  a  worshiping  assem- 
bly more  promptly  and  surely  than  the  average  "Invocation,"  or  than  the  musical 
attempt  known  as  the  "  Opening  Piece." 

The  Responsive  Lessons  consist  of  the  Psalter  in  its  main  portions,  and  of  all 
extended  Psalm-Hke  passages  from  the  Books  of  the  Law  and  the  Prophets,  that 
seemed  desirable  for  public  use, — in  all,  one  hundred  and  thirty-seven  Lessons, 
about  one-half  fi*om  the  Psalter.  These  are  assigned  to  each  Service,  Morning  and 
Evening,  on  aU  Lord's  Days,  etc.,  on  the  yearly  Calendar,  The  attempt  at  full- 
ness in  this  presentation  of  Holy  Scripture  has  given  the  Book  its  size,  which, 
however,  is  below  that  of  the  average  Books  of  Hymns  merely.  The  principle 
of  the  Hebrew  paraUehsm  —  the  echo-principle  —  one  strophe  taking  up  in  repeti- 
tion, or  amplification,  or  confirmation,  or  by  contrast,  the  sentiment  of  the  other — 
has  controlled  both  the  selection  for  Responsive  Lessons  and  the  arrangement  of 
the  leading  and  the  answering  strophes.  The  antiphonal  or  responsive  mode  is 
not  fitting  for  passages  that  are  not  (in  the  main,  at  least)  antiphonal  or  echoing, 
either  in  verbal  structure  or  in  sentiment.  Such  passages,  including  the  New 
Testament,  with  a  few  specific  exceptions,  are  more  impressively  rendered  by  a 
single  voice  in  calm,  continuous  flow.  What  avails  it  to  force  an  echoing  utter- 
ance when  there  is  no  echo  to  be  uttered  ?  In  exceptional  cases  in  which  the 
parallelisms  are  not  facile  to  modern  use,  our  Christian  liberty  to  vary  from  them 
is  evident ;  but  since,  in  the  main,  they  mark  out  for  us  the  old  Scriptural  path, 
it  is  probably  our  wisdom  to  reform  our  taste  to  the  pattern  showed  us  on  the 
Hebrew  temple-mount  rather  than  to  conform  the  Divine  pattern  to  our  taste. 

The  Prayers  for  the  Day  may  be  read  at  the  end  of  the  general  prayer,  or  their 
use  may  be  merely  for  suggestions.  Indebted  to  the  ancient  Collects  for  their  gen- 
eral style,  they  yet  show  many  changes  in  material.  All  are  framed  after  one 
mode  —  each  prayer  usually  in  three  paragraphs,  yet  all  comprised  in  one  sentence. 
No  two  prayers  begin  with  the  same  phrase.  All  have  for  nucleus  the  Scriptural 
formula  of  the  Father  and  the  Son  and  the  Holy  Spirit  [Matt,  xxviii,  19 ;  il  Cor. 
xiii,  14] ,  while  also  addressing  God  as  One  :  all  specify  the  Lord  Jesus  as  the  Son 
of  God,  and  offer  through  Him,  as  the  Savior,  their  plea:  all  ascribe  to  God 
eternity,  supremacy,  and  glory.  Thus  each  presents  in  outline  the  essential  and 
universal  faith  of  the  Church  of  Christ. 

THE   SONGS  OF  PRAISE 

The  Songs  and  the  Music  in  this  book  are,  with  a  few  exceptions,  restricted  in 
range  by  a  single  purpose  —  that  in  every  Service  certain  parts  shall  consist  of  direct 


VI  PREFACE 

praise  to  God  by  the  loliole  assembly  in  song.  Beyond  this  narrow  range  are  many 
important  applications  of  lyric  art  and  of  Church-music  ;  but  they  are  abundantly 
provided  in  the  Hymn-books  now  in  use. 

The  Praise-songs  are  arranged  on  the  principle  that  congregational  praise 
(unhke  instruction  or  exhortation)  gains  but  httle  help  from  novelty,  and  is  even 
hindered  or  distracted  by  thoughts  or  words  elaborately  new  or  strange,  and 
moves  toward  God  most  easily  on  paths  so  often  traveled  as  to  be  familiar — the 
habitudes  of  the  soul.  The  same  Introductory  Responses,  Psalm  Chants,  and 
Hymns  of  Praise  (words  and  music)  recur  in  successive  months,  soon  growing 
familiar  to  the  congregation.  If  the  Calendar  be  used,  this  monthly  order  is  inter- 
rupted by  similar  Praise-songs  assigned  to  the  ''  Signal  Days,"  such  as  Christmas, 
etc.  J  and  these  also,  year  by  year  the  same,  will  gather  power  by  use. 

As  the  Psalm  Chants  end  with  Gloria  Patri  —  the  voices  of  worship  from  the 
Old  Covenant  merging  in  the  praise  of  God  as  manifested  in  Christ  —  so  in  each 
Service  the  one  metrical  Hymn  of  general  Praise  by  the  congregation  completes 
its  offering  with  a  Doxology  to  God  as  the  Father  and  the  Son  and  the  Spirit. 
It  was  found  that,  of  the  usual  Doxologies,  many  are  not  in  the  form  of  direct 
praise,  but  rather  calls  to  praise  ;  some  are  preaching  rather  than  worsliip  ;  some 
lack  clear  assertion  of  the  Divine  Oneness )  some  are  more  metaphysical  or  arith- 
metical than  is  the  fashion  of  Scripture ;  others  are  too  general ;  while  for  some 
hymns  of  less  usual  meters  no  Doxologies  were  found.  Accordingly,  those  requisite 
were  composed  for  this  work ;  they  are  marked  (Dox.  added)  that  the  authors  of 
the  hymns  of  which  they  seem  to  be  a  part  may  not  be  held  chargeable  for  them. 
An  inspection  will  show  that  while  they  can  claim  no  originality  —  being,  in  large 
part,  echoes  from  other  productions  —  and  while  theu'  limited  scope,  causing  the 
same  words  to  recur,  combined  with  their  metric  and  rhymic  restrictions,  may  almost 
exclude  them  from  consideration  as  poetry,  they  yet  are  in  substance  Christian 
ascriptions;  they  do  not  fail  to  offer  to  God,  as  the  Father  and  the  Son  and  the 
Spirit,  and  yet  as  One,  the  glory  of  His  supremacy,  eternity,  and  grace. 

In  the  metrical  Hymns  such  shght  changes  in  personal  pronovms,  etc.,  as 
might  conduce  to  directness  in  praise  have  been  made,  and  are  not  noted.  More 
serious  alterations  which  in  a  few  cases  seemed  necessary,  are  noted. 

Some  further  explanations  and  suggestions  may  be  found  in  notes  preceding 
"  The  Service  in  the  Lord's  House,"  and  preceding  the  "  Of&ces  for  the  Year,"  etc. 

MUSICAL  EDITORSHIP 

The  musical  settings  in  this  book  were  intrusted  to  Waldo  S.  Pratt,  Asso- 
ciate Professor  of  Ecclesiastical  Music  and  Hymnology  in  Hartford  Theological 
Seminary.  Pi'ofessor  Pratt's  devout  sentiment  and  discriminating  taste,  with  his 
experience  as  a  teacher  of  the  philosophy  and  history  of  Church  Music,  and  as  a 
conductor  of  singers,  have  been  apj^lied  to  select  and  adapt  from  a  wide  field  the 
musical  settings  here  presented.  Having  the  highest  appreciation  of  the  worshipful 
uses  of  music,  with  a  sincere  belief  in  the  right  and  the  duty  of  the  Christian  con- 
gregation at  the  proper  times  in  every  Service  to  unite  all  its  voices  in  Divine 
praise,  he  has  wrought  in  entire  sympathy  with  the  chief  aim  of  this  book.  The 
compiler  gratefully  recognizes  the  result  as  giving  the  musical  development  most 
helpful  to  his  own  humble  attempt  in  these  Aids  to  Common  Worship.

(Note  as  to  Table  of  Daily  Scripture  Lessons.) 

In  this  Table,  pp.  viii-xiii,  the  Bible  as  a  whole,  to  the  extent  deemed  appropriate 
for  household  or  public  reading,  is  presented  in  four  series  of  daily  Lessons,  which 
advance  together  through  the  year.  Each  series  follows  the  order  of  the  Books  in  the 
Bible,  taking  no  note  of  "  Signal  Days,"  except  that  special  Lessons  are  assigned  to  four 
Days  —  Dec.  24,  25,  31,  Jan.  1.     These  series  may,  for  convenience,  be  stated  thus: 

First  Series  —  Law  and  History ;  Genesis,  through  Esther : 

Second     "      — Psalm  and  Prophecy ;  Job,  through  MalacM  : 

Third       "      —  Gospel  of  the  Lord  Jesus ;  The  Four  Evangelists  : 

Fourth    "      — Apostolic  Word ;  Acts,  EpistleSy  Revelation. 

Of  the  four  Lessons  for  each  day,  two  from  the  Old  Covenant,  two  from  the  New,  all 
may  be  read,  or  any,  at  discretion ;  and  a  part  of  any  may  be  omitted.  A  few  of  the 
Lessons  are  not  commended  for  public  reading  in  full  except  in  the  use  of  the  renderings 
preferred  by  the  American  Revisers. 

The  Table  is  fitted  for  extension  through  two  years  if  desired;  one  mode  being  to 
read,  in  a  year  whose  date  is  "odd"  (1,  3,  etc.),  from  only  the  First  and  Third  Series 
above ;  and  in  a  year  whose  date  is  "  even  "  (2,  4,  etc.),  from  only  the  Second  and  Fourth 
Series ;  and  the  two  Lessons  may  be  divided  between  Morning  and  Evening. 

All  references  to  the  Bible  by  chapter  and  verse  are  inclusive. 


(Note  as  to  the  Form  of  an  Ancient  Creed.) 

The  traditional  form  of  the  venerable  symbol  commonly  called  the  "Nieene  Creed" 
(though  indeed  its  origin  is  not  known)  has  these  words  in  the  section  that  refers  to  Christ : 

"  The  Only  begotten  Son  of  God, 

"Begotten  of  His  Father  before  all  worlds, 

"  God  of  God,  Light  of  Light,  Very  God  of  Very  God; 

"  Begotten,  not  made ; 

"  Being  of  one  substance  with  the  Father ; 

"By  whom,"  etc. 

There  are  many  churches  in  which  this  creed — majestic  echo  of  the  common  Christian 
faith  from  far  antiquity —  is  never  heard.  Possibly,  some  such  churches  may  find  less 
repetition,  and  less  remoteness  from  their  usual  thoiight  concerning  Christ,  if  for  the 
above  quoted  phrases  there  are  substituted  the  following  even  more  ancient  words, 
very  words  of  our  Lord  and  His  apostles : 

"  The  Only  begotten  Son  of  God," 

(a)  Glorified  with  the  Father  before  the  world  was  — 

(h)  The  same  was  the  Word  that  was  in  the  beginning  with  God,  and 

was  God — 
(c)  Through  whom,  etc. 

(a)  Jolin,  xvii,  5.  (&)  John,  i,  l,  2.  (c)  John,  i,  3-10;  Col.  1, 16;  Hel).  i,  8.

LORD'S    DAYS,    AND   OTHER    DAYS    OF   ANNUAL   OBSERVANCE 

The  Lord's  Days  here  shown  — all  that  can  occur  In  a  series  of  years  — are  more  than  occur  in 
any  one  year.    The  Lord's  Days  in  the  common  Monthly  Order  have  their  titles  set  in  a  little  to  the 
right ;  while  the  Signal  Days,  which,  like  "  Easter,"  etc.,  interrupt  the  Monthly  Order  for  the  sake 
of  some  special  observance,  have  their  titles,  beginning  fully  to  the  left. 
Days  with  titles  still  further  to  the  right  are  omitted  from  the  Monthly  Order  in  some  years.

I^Ott 


This  form  includes  all  the  parts  of  a  fully  extended  Service,  from  which 
various  Congregations  can  select  as  they  may  deem  edifying.  To  aid  in  such 
construction  of  a  desired  Service  from  this  general  scheme,  here  are  indicated 
several  modes,  shorter  and  more  simple  in  varying  degrees  according  as  the 
many  Alternatives  and  Omissions  may  be  observed ;  and  the  most  simple  form, 
which  would  be  reached  if  all  were  observed,  is  shown  in  the  Order  which  first 
follows  these  notes. 

The  Service  is  mainly  the  same  for  Morning  and  for  Evening ;  though 
variations  are  suggested  for  Evening  (any  hour  after  the  noon),  and  for  a 
Service  with  the  Communion.  For  the  Communion  and  its  connected  Service, 
see  the  latter  part  of  the  book. 

"Signal  Days,"  referred  to  below,  are  Days  which,  like  Easter,  etc., 
interrupt  with  their  special  observance  the  common  Monthly  Order  of  Lord's 
Days :  they  may  be  found  noted  on  the  Calendar  for  the  Year. 

Songs  additional  to  those  here  indicated  —  such  as  Anthem  by  a  choir, 
etc. — may  be  assigned  by  the  Minister  ;  to  be  introduced  after  IV,  Scripture 
of  the  Old  Covenant ;  or  after  VII,  Scripture  of  the  New. Covenant ;  or  after 
X,  The  Lord's  Prayer.  The  Service  may  have  Organ  Prelude  and  Postlude  : 
also  there  may  be  Organ  Response  (if  so  appointed)  instantly  after  X,  The 
Lord's  Prayer ;  with  Organ  Voluntary  during  a  Contribution  (XI)  when  the 
Offertory  is  not  used.  Interludes  between  the  stanzas  of  a  congregational 
song  are  interruptions  sometimes  necessary,  but  whose  frequency  is  not 
desirable. 

The  number  and  name  of  the  "  Day,"  also  any  parts  of  the  Service,  may 
be  announced  as  may  be  requisite,  orally,  or  by  notices  conspicuously  posted. 

At  the  end  of  every  Prayer,  "  let  all  the  people  say  Amen  "  [Neh.  viii,  6  : 
I  Cor.  xiv,  15,  16]  ;  likewise  after  the  Benediction  :  and  usually  Amen,  by  All, 
should  end  every  song  of  direct  praise  or  worship,  especially  every  Doxology 
[I  Chron.  xvi,  36  :  Ps.  evi,  48]. 

It  is  fitting  that  All  rise  promptly  with  the  Minister,  in  I,  Introductory- 
standing  till  the  end  of  III,  Hymn.  Standing  is  proper  in  song  usually, 
especially  in  songs  of  worship  (VI,  IX,  XII) ;  also  in  VIII,  Confession  of 
Christian  Faith ;  in  the  Short  Prayer  and  Blessing  at  the  end  of  XI,  Offer- 
tory; and  in  XVI,  Benediction.  There  appears  no  imperative  reason  for  the 
Congregation  to  stand  in  the  Eesponsive  Lessons;  since  in  large  part  the 
materials  of  these  are  not  distinctively  the  direct  address  of  worship  to  God. 
In  Prayers  (X,  XIV)  it  is  fitting  that  all  kneel  or  bow  down. 

Words  in  brackets  are  to  be  omitted  at  discretion :  portions  in  small 
capitals  are  for  utterance  by  All  —  Congregation  with  Minister:  portions  in 
italics  by  Congregation  alone.

Christ's  Summary  of  the  Law 

Our  Lord  Jesus  Christ  saith : 

The  first  commandment  in  the  Law  is: 
The  Lord  our  God,  the  Lord,  is  One  : 

And  thou  shalt  love  the  Lord  thy  God  with  all  thy  heart,  and  with 
all  thy  soul,  and  with  all  thy  mind,  and  with  aU  thy  strength : 
This  is  the  great  and  first  commandment. 

Blessed  Lord  God,  be  merciful  to  us  sinners,    [i-k.  xviw.  ,3] 

And  a  second  like  unto  it  is  this : 
Thou  shalt  love  thy  neighbor  as  thyself. 

Blessed  Lord  God,  be  merciful  to  us  sinners. 

There  is  none  other  commandment  greater  than  these : 

On  these  two  commandments  hangeth  the  whole  Law,  and  the  prophets. 

Blessed  Lord  God,  we  beseech  Thee, 

Write  this  whole  law  op  Thy  love  within  our  hearts.

The  Beatitudes  op  the  Gospel 
Our  Lord  Jesus  Christ  saith : 

1  Blessed  are  the  poor  in  spirit :  for  theirs  is  the  kingdom  of  heaven. 

Gracious  Father,  grant  us  to  be  partakers  in  this  spirit, 

2  Blessed  are  they  that  mourn :  for  they  shall  be  comforted. 

Gracious  Father,  grant  us  to  be  partakers  in  such 
blessed  mourning. 

3  Blessed  are  the  meek :  for  they  shall  inherit  the  earth. 

Gracious   Father,  grant  us  to  be  partakers  in  this 
meekness. 
■i  Blessed  are  they  that  hunger  and  thirst  after  righteousness :  for  they 
shall  be  filled. 

Gracious  Father,  grant  us  to  be  partakers  in  this 
hunger  and  thirst. 

5  Blessed  are  the  merciful :  for  they  shall  obtain  mercy. 

Gracious  Father,  grant  us  to   be  partakers  in  this 
twofold  mercy. 

6  Blessed  are  the  pure  in  heart :  for  they  shall  see  God. 

Gracious   Father,  grant  us  to  be  partakers  in  this 
pureness. 

7  Blessed  are  the  peacemakers :  for  they  shall  be  called  sons  of  God. 

Gracious   Father,  grant  us  to  be  partakers  in    Thy 
work  of  peace. 

8  Blessed  are  they  that  have  been  persecuted  for  righteousness'  sake :  for 

theirs  is  the  kingdom  of  heaven. 

Gracious  Father,  grant  us   to  be   partakers  in  all 

THINGS  whatsoever  THAT  PERTAIN  TO  GODLINESS: 
And  LET  ALL  THESE  BLESSINGS  COME  UNTO  US;  EVEN  ThY

AN   ANCIENT    CREED  [All  Christian  disciples  rising] 

[Of  unknown  origin ;  but,  doubtless,  from  formulas  used  at  Baptism  in  the  early  Church :  traceable  in  a  rudiment-

And  in  Jesus  Christ  His  only  Son  our  Lord: 

Who  was  conceived  by  the  Holy  Ghost, 

B9RN  OF  THE  Virgin  Mary: 

Suffered  under  Pontius  Pilate, 

Was  crucified,  dead,  and  buried: 

He  descended  into  Hades: 

The  third  day  He  rose  again  from  the  dead; 

He  ascended  into  Heaven, 

And  sitteth  at  the  right  hand  op  God  the  Father  Almighty  : 

From  thence  He  shall  come  to  judge  the  quick  and  the  dead. 

I  BELIEVE   IN  THE   HOLY  GhOST  :

And  the  Life  everlasting.    Amen.

For  an  Index  to  all  Lord's  Days,  and  other  Days  of  Annual  Observance, 
for  which  these  Offices  are  provided,  see  in  preceding  pages  —  Calendar 
FOR  THE  Year.    The  Order  op  Service  also  is  in  preceding  pages. 

The  following  parts  are  here  either  given  in  full,  or  indicated  by  refer- 
ence, for  each  Service  —  Morning  and  Evening  —  on  every  several  Day. 

Introductory  Sentence.    A  special  Sentence  for  each  Service. 

Introductory  Response.  The  proper  Response  is  here  given  for  each 
Service ;  and  for  every  Signal  Day  the  music  also.  But  for  Lord's  Days  in  the 
common  Monthly  Order,  the  same  Introductory  Responses  (one  for  Morn- 
ing, one  for  Evening)  serve  for  the  same  Lord's  Days  in  every  month  through 
the  year;  and  the  music  for  these  is  to  be  found  at  the  end  of  these  Offices, 
in  the  Monthly  Songs  op  Praise.  For  example :  the  same  words  and  music 
serve  for  the  Lord's  Day  Evening,  Second,  in  January  —  in  February  —  in 
March,  etc.  [The  same  arrangement  in  general  for  the  Psalm  Chant  and 
for  the  Hymn  op  Praise  —  below.]  If  preferred,  instead  of  singing  the  Re- 
sponse, it  may  be  said  in  unison  by  All — Congregation  with  Minister;  after 
which  may  be  sung  "Praise  God  from  whom  all  blessings  flow." 

Scripture  Lessons.  Three  Lessons  for  each  Service  are  here  indicated 
by  reference  to  their  places  in  the  Bible :  one  Lesson  from  the  Old  Covenant, 
with  one  from  the  Gospels,  and  one  from  the  history  or  words  of  the  Apostles. 
But  if  in  any  service  the  Minister  deem  the  Old  Covenant  sufficiently  presented 
in  the  Responsive  Reading  and  the  Psalm  of  Praise,  which  follow,  he  may 
omit  this  Lesson  from  the  Old  Covenant.  Though  these  Readings  are  recom- 
mended as  carefully  selected  to  bring  into  weekly  prominence  the  most 
significant  portions  of  Holy  Scripture,  yet  the  Minister  may  sometimes  find 
occasion  to  use  instead  the  Lessons  appointed  in  the  Table  op  Daily  Scrip- 
ture Lessons  in  preceding  pages ;  or  he  may  select  outside  of  any  prescribed 
course.  The  abrupt  beginning  of  some  of  the  Lessons,  due  to  necessary 
brevity,  may  make  desirable  a  few  prefatory  words  as  to  persons,  time,  place, 
etc.  These  Lessons  are  from  the  Revised  Version,  with  the  readings  and 
renderings  preferred  by  the  American  Revisers :  in  a  few  of  the  Lessons,  in 
public  reading  from  any  other  Version,  small  portions  may  be  omitted.  All 
references  to  the  Bible  by  chapter  and  verse  are  inclusive. 

Responsive  Lesson.  A  special  Lesson  is  here  given  for  each  Service. 
Lines  printed  in  Roman  letter,  and  not  indented  (or  set  in),  are  to  be  read  by 
the  Minister;  lines  indented  and  in  italics,  by  the  Congregation;  lines  in 
small  capitals  by  All  —  Minister  and  Congregation. 

Psalm  Chant.  One  for  each  Signal  Day :  but  for  Days  in  the  common 
Monthly  Order  (Morning,  Evening),  see  in  Monthly  Songs  op  Praise. 

Prayer  op  the  Day.  A  short  Prayer  is  here  given  for  every  Day  —  the 
same  for  Morning  and  Evening,  but  omitted  at  discretion  in  Evening. 

Hymn  of  Praise.  Two  Hymns  (Morning,  Evening)  for  each  Signal 
Day :  but  for  Days  in  the  common  Monthly  Order,  see  in  Monthly  Songs 
OP  Praise.

HOW  can  man  be  just  with  God ? 
If  He  be  pleased  to  contend  with  him, 
He  cannot  answer  Him  one  of  a  thousand. 

2  He  is  wise  in  heart,  and  mighty  in  strength : 

Who  hath  hardened  himself  against  Him,  and  prospered  ? 

3  Who  removeth  the  mountains,  and  they  know  it  not, 

When  He  overturneth  them  in  His  anger : 

4  Who  shaketh  the  earth  out  of  her  place. 

And  the  pillars  thereof  tremble  : 

5  Who  commandeth  the  sun,  and  it  riseth  not  j 

A7id  sealeth  up  the  stars : 

6  Who  alone  stretcheth  out  the  heavens. 

And  treadeth  upon  the  ivaves  of  the  sea: 

7  Who  maketh  the  Bear,  Orion,  and  the  Pleiades, 

And  the  chambers  of  the  south : 

8  Who  doeth  great  things  past  finding  out ; 

Yea,  marvelous  things  without  number. 

9  Lo,  He  goeth  by  me,  and  I  see  Him  not ; 

He  passeth  on  also,  but  I  perceive  Him  not. 


10  Ask  now  the  beasts,  and  they  shall  teach  thee ; 

And  the  fowls  of  the  air,  and  they  shall  tell  thee  ; 

11  Or  speak  to  the  earth,  and  it  shall  teach  thee ; 

And  the  fishes  of  the  sea  shall  declare  unto  thee.

I.    NEW  YEAR  DAY 

12  Who  knowetli  not  in  all  these, 

That  the  hand  of  Jehovah  hath  lorought  this  f 

13  In  whose  hand  is  the  soul  of  every  hving  thing, 

And  the  breath  of  all  mankind. 

14  With  Him  is  wisdom  and  might ; 

He  hath  counsel  and  understanding. 

15  Behold,  He  breaketh  down,  and  it  cannot  be  built  again ; 

He  shutteth  up  a  man,  and  there  can  he  no  opening. 

16  Behold,  He  withholdeth  the  waters,  and  they  dry  up  ; 

Again  He  sendeth  them  out,  and  they  overturn  the  earth. 

17  With  Him  is  strength  and  wisdom  ; 

The  deceived  and  the  deceiver  are  His. 

18  He  leadeth  counselors  away  spoUed, 

And  judges  maketh  He  fools. 

19  He  looseth  the  bond  of  kings, 

And  iindeth  their  loins  tvith  a  girdle. 

20  He  leadeth  priests  away  spoiled, 

And  overthroioeth  the  mighty. 

21  He  removeth  the  speech  of  the  trusty. 

And  taketh  aicay  the  understanding  of  the  elders. 

22  He  poureth  contempt  upon  princes. 

And  looseth  the  belt  of  the  strong. 

23  He  discovereth  deep  things  out  of  darkness, 

And  bringeth  out  to  light  the  shadoio  of  death. 

24  He  increaseth  the  nations,  and  He  destroyeth  them  : 

He  enlargeth  the  nations,  and  He  leadeth  them  captive. 

25  He  taketh  away  understanding  from  the  chiefs  of  the  people  of  the  earth, 

And  causeth  them  to  wander  in  a  icilderness  tchere  there  is  no  ivay. 

26  They  grope  in  the  dark  without  Hght, 

And  He  maketh  tliem  to  stagger  like  a  drunken  man. 


27  He  stretcheth  out  the  north  over  empty  space.

And  the  place  thereof  shall  know  it  no  more.

lasting upon  them  that  fear  Him, 
And  His  righteousness  unto  children's  children  ;

Upon  them  that  hope  in  His  lovingkindness  ;

WHEN  Israel  went  forth  out  of  Egypt, 
Tlie  house  of  Jacob  from  a  people  of  strange  language  ; 

2  Judah  became  His  sanctuary, 

Israel  His  dominion. 

3  The  sea  saw  it,  and  fled ; 

Jordan  was  driven  hack. 

4  The  mountains  skipped  like  rams, 

The  little  hills  like  young  sheep. 

5  What  aileth  thee,  0  thou  sea,  that  thou  fleest  ? 

Thou  Jordan,  that  thou  turnest  hack  f 

6  Ye  mountains,  that  ye  skip  like  rams ; 

Ye  little  Jiills,  like  young  sheep  f 

7  Tremble,  thou  earth,  at  the  presence  of  the  Lord, 

At  the  presence  of  the  God  of  Jacob  ;

The  flint  into  a  fountain  of  ivaters.

Not  unto  us, 

10  But  unto  Thy  Name  give  glory. 

For  Tliy  lovingkindness, 

11  And  for  Thy  truth's  sake. 

Wherefore  should  the  nations  say,  Where  is  noiv  their  God  ? 

12  But  our  God  is  in  the  heavens  : 

He  hath  done  whatsoever  He  pleased. 

13  Their  idols  are  silver  and  gold. 

The  work  of  men's  hands. 

14  They  have  mouths,  but  they  speak  not ; 

Eyes  have  they,  hut  they  see  not; 

15  They  have  ears,  but  they  hear  not ;

16  They  have  hands,  but  they  handle  not ; 
Feet  have  they,  but  they  walk  not ; 

Neither  speak  they  through  their  throat. 

17  They  that  make  them  shall  be  hke  unto  them  ; 

Yea,  every  one  that  trusteth  in  them.

And  tJie  firmament  showeth  His  handiwork. 

2  Day  unto  day  uttereth  speech, 

And  night  unto  night  slwiveth  knowledge.

Their  voice  cannot  he  heard. 

4  Their  hne  is  gone  out  through  all  the  earth. 

And  their  loords  to  the  end  of  the  icorld. 

5  In  them  hath  He  set  a  tabernacle  for  the  sun. 
Which  is  as  a  bridegroom  coming  out  of  his  chamber. 

And  rejoiceth  as  a  strong  man  to  run  his  course.

7  The  law  of  Jehovah  is  perfect,  restoring  the  soul : 

The  testimony  of  Jehovah  is  sure,  making  ivise  the  simple. 

8  The  precepts  of  Jehovah  are  right,  rejoicing  the  heart : 

The  commandment  of  Jehovah  is  pure,  enlightening  the  eyes. 

9  The  fear  of  Jehovah  is  clean,  enduring  forever : 

The  judgments  of  Jehovah  are  true,  and  righteous  altogether. 

10  More  to  be  desired  are  they  than  gold,  yea,  than  much  fine  gold ; 

Siceeter  also  than  honey  and  the  honeycomb. 

11  Moreover  by  them  is  Thy  servant  warned : 

In  keeping  of  them  there  is  great  reivard, 

12  Who  can  discern  his  errors  ? 

Clear  Thou  me  from  hidden  faults. 

13  Keep  back  Thy  servant  also  from  presumptuous  sins ; 

Let  them  not  have  dominion  over  me  : 

14  Then  shall  I  be  perfect, 

And  I  shall  he  clear  from  great  transgression. 

15  Let  the  words  of  my  mouth 

And  the  meditation  of  my  heart 

16  Be  acceptable  in  Thy  sight, 

0  Jehovah,  my  rock,  and  my  redeemer. 


17  The  fool  hath  said  in  his  heart.  There  is  no  God. 

Ccrrrupt  are  they,  and  have  done  abominable  iniquity; 
There  is  none  that  doeth  good, 

18  God  looked  down  from  heaven 

Upon  the  children  of  men, 

19  To  see  if  there  were  any  that  did  understand. 

That  did  seek  after  God. 

20  Every  one  of  them  is  gone  back ;  they  are  together  become  filthy ; 

There  is  none  that  doeth  good,  no,  not  one. 

21  Have  the  workers  of  iniquity  no  knowledge  ? 

Who  eat  up  my  peojile  as  they  eat  bread. 
And  call  not  upon  God. 

22  There  were  they  in  great  fear,  where  no  fear  was : 

For  God  hath  scattered  the  bones  of  him  that  encampeth  against  thee; 

23  Thou  hast  put  them  to  shame. 

Because  God  hath  rejected  them. 

24  Oh  that  the  salvation  of  Israel  were  come  out  of  Zion ! 

When  God  bringeth  back  the  captivity  of  His  people, 

25  Then  shall  Jacob  rejoice. 

And  Israel  shall  be  glad.

Open  thy  mouth  uide^  and  I  loiU  fill  it.

And  Israel  ivould  none  of  Me. 

13  So  I  let  them  go  after  the  stubbornness  of  their  heart. 
That  they  might  walk  in  their  own  counsels.

And  turn  My  hand  against  their  adversaries.

But  their  time  should  endure  fcyreiier. 

17  He  should  feed  them  also  with  the  finest  of  the  wheat : 
And  with  Jwney  out  of  the  roek  should  I  satisfy  thee. 


18  I  WILL  sing  of  lovingkindness  and  judgment : 

Unto  Thee,  0  Jehovah,  ivill  I  sing  ptraises. 

19  I  will  behave  myself  wisely  in  a  perfect  way : 

Oh  ichen  tcilt  Thou  come  unto  me  ? 

20  I  will  walk  within  my  house  with  a  perfect  heart.

It  shall  not  cleave  unto  me.

23  Whoso  privily  slandereth  his  neighbor,  him  will  I  destroy : 

Him  tliMt  hath  a  high  look  and  a  proud  heart  will  I  not  suffer.

He  that  speaketh  falsehood  shall  not  be  established  before  mine  eyes.

I E  that  dweUeth  in  the  secret  place  of  the  Most  High 
Shall  abide  under  the  shadow  of  the  Almighty, 

2  I  will  say  of  Jehovah,  He  is  my  refuge  and  my  fortress ; 
My  God,  in  ivhom  I  trust. 

3  For  He  shall  dehver  thee  from  the  snare  of  the  fowler, 
And  from  the  noisome  pestilence. 

4  He  shall  cover  thee  with  His  pinions, 
And  under  His  wings  shalt  thou  take  refuge: 

5  His  truth  is  a  shield 
And  a  buckler. 

6  Thou  shalt  not  be  afraid  for  the  terror  by  night, 
Nor  for  the  arrow  that  flieth  by  day; 

7  For  the  pestilence  that  walketh  in  darkness. 
Nor  for  the  destruction  that  ivasteth  at  noonday. 

8  A  thousand  shaU  fall  at  thy  side. 
And  ten  thousand  at  thy  right  hand; 

9  But  it  shall  not  come  nigh  thee. 
Only  with  thine  eyes  shalt  thou  behold. 

And  see  the  reward  of  the  nicked. 

10  Because  thou  hast  said,  Jehovah  is  my  refuge ; 
Thou  hast  made  the  Most  High  thy  habitation; 

11  There  shall  no  evil  befall  thee. 
Neither  shall  any  plague  come  nigh  thy  tent. 

12  For  He  shall  give  His  angels  charge  over  thee. 
To  keep  thee  in  all  thy  ways. 

13  They  shall  bear  thee  up  in  their  hands, 
Lest  thou  dash  thy  foot  against  a  stone. 

14  Thou  shalt  tread  upon  the  lion  and  adder : 
Tlie  young  lion  and  the  serpent  shalt  thou  trample  under  feet. 

15  Because  he  hath  set  his  love  upon  Me, 
Therefore  ivill  I  deliver  him:

Because  he  hath  knoion  My  Name.

And  I  will  ansiver  him;

He  that  argueth  ivith  God,  let  him  ansiver  it.

Behold,  I  am  of  small  account ;  what  shall  I  answer  thee "? 
I  lay  my  hand  upon  my  mouth. 

3  Once  have  I  spoken,  and  I  will  not  answer ; 

Yea  ttcice,  but  I  will  proceed  no  further.

And  array  thyself  with  honor  and  majesty.

And  look  upon  every  one  that  is  proud,  and  abase  him.

And  tread  down  the  icicked  where  tliey  stand.

That  thine  own  right  hand  can  save  thee,

And  that  tw  purpose  of  TJiine  can  be  restrained. 

13  Who  is  this  that  hideth  counsel  without  knowledge  ? 

Therefore  have  I  uttered  that  which  I  understood  not,

Which  I  knew  not. 

15  Hear,  I  beseech  Thee,  and  I  will  speak ; 

I  win  demand  of  Thee,  and  declare  Thou  unto  me.

Therefore  with  lovingkindness  have  I  drawn  thee. 

2  Again  will  I  build  thee, 

And  thou  shalt  he  built,  0  virgin  of  Israel:

And  let  us  go  up  to  Zion  unto  Jehovah  our  God.

And  shout  for  the  chief  of  the  nations: 

6  Publish  ye,  praise  ye,  and  say,  0  Jehovah,  save  Thy  people.

And  with  supplications  vnll  I  lead  them : 

10  I  will  cause  them  to  walk  by  rivers  of  waters, 

In  a  straight  way  wherein  they  shall  not  stumble: 

11  For  I  am  a  father  to  Israel, 

And  Ephraim  is  My  firstborn. 

12  Hear  the  word  of  Jehovah,  0  ye  nations. 

And  declare  it  in  the  isles  afar  off; 

13  And  say,  He  that  scattered  Israel  will  gather  him, 

A  nd  keep  him,  as  a  shepherd  doth  his  flock. 

14  For  Jehovah  hath  ransomed  Jacob, 

And  redeemed  him  from  the  hand  of  him  that  teas  stronger  than  he. 

15  And  they  shall  come  and  sing  in  the  height  of  Zion, 

And  shall  floiv  together  unto  the  goodness  of  Jehovah  : 

16  And  their  soul  shall  be  as  a  watered  garden  ; 

And  they  shall  not  sorrow  any  more  at  all.

and  bitter  weeping, 
Bachel  iceeping  for  her  children ; 

18  She  refuseth  to  be  comforted  for  her  children, 

Because  they  are  not. 

19  Thus  saith  Jehovah  :  Eefrain  thy  voice  from  weeping, 

And  thine  eyes  from  tears : 

20  For  thy  work  shall  be  rewarded,  saith  Jehovah  ; 

And  they  shall  come  again  from  the  land  of  the  enemy. 

21  And  there  is  hope  for  thy  latter  end,  saith  Jehovah  ; 

And  thy  children  shall  come  again  to  their  own  border. 

22  Behold,  the  days  come,  saith  Jehovah, 

That  I  will  make  a  new  covenant  with  the  house  of  Israel, 
And  ivith  the  house  of  JudaJi : 

23  Not  according  to  the  covenant  that  I  made  with  their  fathers 

In  the  day  that  I  took  them  by  the  hand  to  bring  them  out  of  the 
land  of  Egypt  ;

29  Saying,  Know  Jehovah : 
For  they  aU  shall  know  Me, 

From  the  least  of  them  unto  the  greatest  of  them,  saith  Jehovah :

IN  the  Name  of  the  Lamb  of  God,  we  beseech  Thee,  Heavenly  Father,  that  as 
we,  by  Thy  Spirit,  through  faith,  have  heard  the  voice  of  prophets  and  the 
message  of  angels  and  the  testimony  of  apostles,  whereby  we  have  known  the 
incarnation  of  Thy  Son  Jesus  Christ, 

So  we  may  inwardly  know  His  cross  and  sacrifice,  and  be  brought  unto  the

Who  hath  ascended  above  all  heavens,  and  with  Thee  and  the  Holy  Spirit  is

And  mount  Zion,  wherein  Thou  hast  dwelt. 

4  Lift  up  Thy  feet  unto  the  perpetual  ruins, 

All  the  evil  that  the  enemy  hath  done  in  the  sanctuary. 

5  Thine  adversaries  have  roared  in  the  midst  of  Thine  assembly ; 

They  have  set  up  their  ensigns  for  signs. 

6  They  seemed  as  men  that  lifted  up  axes  upon  a  thicket  of  trees. 

And  now  all  the  carved  work  thereof  they  break  down  with  hatchet 
and  hammers. 

7  They  have  set  Thy  sanctuary  on  fire ; 

They  have  profaned  the  dwelling-place  of  Thy  Name  even  to  the 
ground. 

8  They  said  in  their  heart,  Let  us  make  havoc  of  them  altogether : 

They  have  btcrned  up  all  the  synagogues  of  God  in  the  land. 

9  We  see  not  our  signs  : 

There  is  no  more  any  prophet ; 

Neither  is  there  among  us  any  that  knoweth  how  long. 

10  How  long,  0  God,  shall  the  adversary  reproach  ? 

Shall  the  enemy  blaspheme  Thy  Name  forever  f 

11  Why  drawest  Thou  back  Thy  hand,  even  Thy  right  hand  ? 

Pluck  it  out  of  Thy  bosom  and  consume  them. 

12  Yet  God  is  my  King  of  old, 

Working  salvation  in  the  midst  of  the  earth. 

13  Thou  didst  divide  the  sea  by  Thy  strength : 

Thou  brakest  the  heads  of  the  dragons  in  the  waters. 

14  Thou  brakest  the  heads  of  leviathan  in  pieces. 

Thou  gavesi  him  to  be  food  to  the  people  inhabiting  the  wilderness, 

15  Thou  didst  cleave  fountain  and  flood : 

^hou  driedst  up  mighty  rivers. 

16  The  day  is  Thine,  the  night  also  is  Thine : 

Thou  hast  prepared  the  light  and  the  sun. 

17  Thou  hast  set  all  the  borders  of  the  earth : 

Tliou  hast  made  summer  and  winter. 

18  Remember  this,  that  the  enemy  hath  reproached,  0  Jehovah, 

And  that  a  foolish  people  have  blasphemed  Thy  Name. 

19  0  deliver  not  the  soul  of  Thy  turtledove  unto  the  wild  beast : 

Forget  not  the  life  of  Thy  poor  forever.

For  the  dark  places  of  the  earth  are  full  of  the  habitations  of  violence,

Let  the  poor  and  needy  praise  Thy  Name.

HEAVENLY  Father,  whose  Son  Jestis  fasted  and  was  tempted  in  the  wilderness ; 
we  beseech  Thee  arm  us  with  the  same  mind  that  was  in  Him  against  all  sin : 
And  for  His  sake — the  Lamb  of  God — who  suffered  in  our  behalf ,  give  us 
grace  to  keep  both  our  bodies  and  our  souls  in  such  holy  discipline  that  we  may  be 
ready  always  to  resist  Satan,  and  to  obey  the  motions  of  Thy  blessed  Spirit,

2  Because  thine  heart  is  hfted  up,  and  thou  hast  said,  I  am  a  god, 

I  sit  in  the  seat  of  God,  in  the  midst  of  tlie  seas  ; 

3  Yet  thou  art  man,  and  not  God, 

Tliough  thou  didst  set  thine  heart  as  the  heart  of  God : 

4  Behold,  thou  art  wiser  than  Daniel ; 

There  is  no  secret  that  is  hidden  from  thee : 

5  By  thy  wisdom  and  by  thine  understanding  thou  hast  gotten  thee 

riches, 
And  hast  gotten  gold  and  silver  into  thy  treasures : 

6  By  thy  great  wisdom  and  by  thy  traffic  hast  thou  increased  thy  riches. 

And  thine  heart  is  lifted  up  because  of  thy  riches  : 

7  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  Jehovah : 

Because  thou  hast  set  thine  heart  as  the  heart  of  God; 

8  Therefore  behold,  I  will  bring  strangers  upon  thee, 

The  terrible  of  the  nations  : 

9  And  they  shall  draw  their  swords  against  the  beauty  of  thy  wisdom. 

And  they  shall  defile  thy  brightness. 

10  They  shall  bring  thee  down  to  the  pit ; 

And  thou  shalt  die  the  deaths  of  them  that  are  slain,  in  the  heart 
of  the  seas. 

11  Wilt  thou  yet  say  before  him  that  slayeth  thee,  I  am  God  ? 
But  thou  art  man,  and  not  God, 

In  the  hand  of  him  that  woundeth  thee. 

12  Thou  shalt  die  the  deaths  of  the  uncircumcised  by  the  hand  of 

strangers ; 
For  I  have  spoken  it,  saith  tJie  Lord  Jehovah.

In  the  day  that  thou  wast  created  they  loere  prepared.

Till  unrighteousness  ivas  found  in  thee.

And  thou  hast  sinned:

I  have  laid  thee  before  kings,  that  they  may  behold  thee. 

26  By  the  multitude  of  thine  iniquities,  in  the  unrighteousness  of  thy 

traffic, 
Thou  hast  profaned  thy  sanctuaries  ; 

27  Therefore  have  I  brought  forth  a  fire  from  the  midst  of  thee, 

It  hath  devoured  thee, 

28  And  I  have  turned  thee  to  ashes  upon  the  earth 

In  the  sight  of  all  them  that  behold  thee.

HEAR  my  voice,  0  God,  in  my  complaint : 
Preserve  my  life  from  fear  of  the  enemy. 

2  Hide  me  from  the  secret  counsel  of  evil-doers ; 

From  the  tumult  of  the  workers  of  iniqiiity : 

3  Who  have  whet  their  tongue  hke  a  sword, 

And  have  aimed  their  arroivs,  even  hitter  loords: 

4  That  they  may  shoot  in  secret  places  at  the  perfect : 

Suddenly  do  they  shoot  at  him,  and  fear  not. 

5  They  encourage  themselves  in  an  evil  purpose ; 

They  commune  of  laying  snares  privily  ; 

6  They  say.  Who  shall  see  them  ! 

They  search  out  iniquities  ; 

7  We  have  accomplished,  say  they,  a  diligent  search : 

And  the  imvard  thought  of  every  one,  and  the  heart,  is  deep. 

8  But  God  shall  shoot  at  them ; 

With  an  arroio  suddenly  shall  they  he  icounded. 

9  So  they  shall  be  made  to  stumble, 

Their  own  tongue  being  against  them: 

10  All  that  see  them  shall  wag  the  head. 

And  all  men  shall  fear  ; 

11  And  they  shall  declare  the  work  of  God, 

And  shall  icisely  consider  of  His  doing. 

12  The  righteous  shaU  be  glad  in  Jehovah,  and  shall  take  refuge  in 

Him  ; 
And  all  the  upright  in  heart  shall  glory. 


13  Make  haste,  0  God,  to  deliver  me ; 

Make  haste  to  help  me,  0  Jehovah. 

14  Let  them  be  ashamed  and  confounded 

That  seek  after  my  soul: 

15  Let  them  be  turned  backward  and  brought  to  dishonor 

That  delight  in  my  hurt. 

16  Let  them  be  turned  back  by  reason  of  their  shame 

That  say,  Aha,  Aha. 

17  Let  all  those  that  seek  Thee  rejoice  and  be  glad  in  Thee  ; 

And  let  such  as  love  Thy  salvation  say  continually, 
Let  God  be  magnified. 

18  But  I  am  poor  and  needy ; 

Make  haste  unto  me,  0  God : 

19  Thou  art  my  help  and  my  deliverer ; 

0  Jehovah,  make  no  tarrying. 


20  In  Judah  is  God  known : 

His  name  is  great  in  Israel. 

21  In  Salem  also  is  His  tabernacle, 

And  His  dwelling-place  in  Zion. 

22  There  He  brake  the  arrows  of  the  bow ; 

The  shield,  and  the  stcord,  and  the  battle.

24  The  stouthearted  are  become  a  spoil,  they  have  slept  their  sleep ; 

And  none  of  the  men  of  might  have  found  their  hands. 

25  At  Thy  rebuke,  0  God  of  Jacob, 

Both  chariot  and  horse  are  cast  into  a  dead  sleep. 

26  Thou,  even  Thou,  art  to  be  feared : 

And  icho  may  stand  in  Thy  sight  lohen  once  TJiou  art  angry? 

27  Thou  didst  cause  sentence  to  be  heard  from  heaven  ; 

The  earth  feared,  and  ivas  still, 

28  When  God  arose  to  judgment, 

To  save  all  the  meek  of  the  earth. 

29  Surely  the  wrath  of  man  shall  praise  Thee : 

The  residue  of  ivrath  shalt  Thou  gird  upon  Thee. 

30  Vow,  and  pay  unto  Jehovah  your  God : 

Let  all  that  be  round  about  Him  bring  presents  unto  Him  that 
ought  to  be  feared. 

31  He  shall  cut  off  the  spirit  of  princes  : 

He  is  terrible  to  the  kings  of  the  earth.

For  I  have  'believed  in  Thy  commandments. 

3  Before  I  was  afflicted  I  went  astray ; 

But  now  I  observe  Thy  ivord. 

4  Thou  art  good,  and  doest  good  ; 

Teach  me  Thy  statutes. 

5  The  proud  have  forged  a  he  against  me : 

With  my  ichole  heart  will  I  keep  Thy  precepts. 

6  Their  heart  is  as  fat  as  grease ; 

But  I  delight  in  Thy  law. 

7  It  is  good  for  me  that  I  have  been  afflicted ; 

That  I  might  learn  Thy  statutes. 

8  The  law  of  Thy  mouth  is  better  unto  me 

Than  thousands  of  gold  and  silver. 

9  Thy  hands  have  made  me  and  fashioned  me : 

Crive  me  understanding,  that  I  may  learn  Thy  commandments. 

10  They  that  fear  Thee  shall  see  me  and  be  glad  j 

Because  I  have  hoped  in  Thy  word. 

11  I  know,  0  Jehovah,  that  Thy  judgments  are  righteous, 

And  that  in  faithfulness  Thou  hast  afflicted  me. 

12  Let,  I  pray  Thee,  Thy  lovingkiadness  be  for  my  comfort.

1 8.    LORD^S   DAY   SECOND   IN   APRIL — EVENING  67 

6  0  ye  seed  of  Abraham  His  servant, 

Ye  children  of  Jacob,  His  chosen  ones. 

7  He  is  Jehovah  our  God : 

His  judgments  are  in  all  the  earth. 

8  He  hath  remembered  His  covenant  forever, 

The  word  which  He  commanded  to  a  thousand  generations  ; 

9  The  covenant  which  He  made  with  Abraham, 

And  His  oath  unto  Isaac; 

10  And  confirmed  the  same  unto  Jacob  for  a  statute, 
*      To  Israel  for  an  everlasting  covenant : 

11  Saying,  Unto  thee  will  I  give  the  land  of  Canaan, 

The  lot  of  your  inheritance : 

12  When  they  were  but  a  few  men  in  number ; 

Yea,  very  few,  and  sojourners  in  it ; 

13  And  they  went  about  from  nation  to  nation, 

From  one  kingdom  to  anotlier  people. 

14  He  suffered  no  man  to  do  them  wrong ; 

Yea,  He  reproved  kings  for  their  sakes  ; 

15  Saying,  Touch  not  Mine  anointed  ones, 

And  do  My  prophets  no  harm. 

16  And  He  called  for  a  famine  upon  the  land ; 

He  brake  the  whole  staff  of  bread. 

17  Israel  also  came  into  Egypt ; 

And  Jacob  sojourned  in  the  land  of  Ham. 

18  And  He  increased  His  people  greatly, 

A  nd  made  them  stronger  than  their  adversaries. 

19  He  turned  their  heart  to  hate  His  people, 

To  deal  subtilly  with  His  servants. 

20  He  sent  Moses  His  servant. 

And  Aaron  whom  He  had  chosen. 

21  They  set  among  them  His  signs. 

And  wonders  in  the  land  of  Ham. 

22  He  smote  also  aU  the  firstborn  in  their  land, 

The  chief  of  all  their  strength. 

23  And  He  brought  them  forth  with  silver  and  gold  : 

And  there  was  not  one  feeble  person  among  His  tribes. 

24  Egypt  was  glad  when  they  departed ; 

For  the  fear  of  them  had  fallen  upon  them. 

25  He  spread  a  cloud  for  a  covering ; 

And  fire  to  give  light  in  tlie  night. 

26  They  asked,  and  He  brought  quails, 

And  satisfied  them  with  the  bread  of  heaven. 

27  He  opened  the  rock,  and  waters  gushed  out ; 

They  ran  in  the  dry  places  like  a  river. 

28  For  He  remembered  His  holy  word. 

And  Abraham  His  servant. 

29  And  He  brought  forth  His  people  with  joy, 

And  His  chosen  tvith  singing.

And  to  him  that  is  mar,  saith  Jehovah;  and  I  icill  heal  him. 

8  But  the  wicked  are  hke  the  troubled  sea ;  for  it  cannot  rest, 

And  its  waters  cast  up  mire  and  dirt. 

There  is  no  peace,  saith  my  God,  to  the  wicked. 

9  Cry  aloud,  spare  not. 

Lift  up  thy  voice  like  a  trumpet, 

10  And  declare  unto  My  people  their  transgression, 

And  to  the  house  of  Jacob  their  sins. 

11  Yet  they  seek  Me  daUy, 

And  delight  to  knotv  My  ways: 

12  As  a  nation  that  did  righteousness, 

And  forsook  not  the  ordinance  of  their  God, 

13  They  ask  of  Me  righteous  ordinances, 

They  delight  to  draw  near  unto  God. 

14  Wherefore  have  we  fasted,  say  they,  and  Thou  seest  not  ? 

Wliereforc  have  toe  afflicted  our  soul,  and  Thou  takestno  knoivledge? 

15  Behold,  in  the  day  of  your  fast  ye  find  your  own  pleasure, 

And  exact  all  your  labors. 

16  Behold  ye  fast  for  strife  and  contention, 
And  to  smite  with  the  fist  of  wickedness : 

Ye  fast  not  this  day  so  as  to  make  your  voice  to  be  heard  on  high. 

17  Is  such  the  fast  that  I  have  chosen  ? 

The  day  for  a  man  to  afflict  his  soul  f 

18  Is  it  to  bow  down  his  head  as  a  rush. 

And  to  spread  sackcloth  and  ashes  under  him  ? 

19  Wilt  thou  call  this  a  fast, 

And  an  acceptable  day  to  JeJiovahf 

20  Is  not  this  the  fast  that  I  have  chosen  ? 
To  loose  the  bonds  of  wickedness. 

To  undo  the  bands  of  the  yoke, 

21  And  to  let  the  oppressed  go  free. 

And  that  ye  break  every  yoke? 

22  Is  it  not  to  deal  thy  bread  to  the  hungry. 

And  that  thou  bring  the  poor  that  are  cast  out  to  thy  housef 

23  When  thou  seest  the  naked,  that  thou  cover  him  ; 

And  that  thou  hide  not  thyself  from  thine  own  flesh  f 

24  Then  shall  thy  light  break  forth  as  the  morning, 

And  thy  healing  shall  spring  forth  speedily: 

25  And  thy  righteousness  shall  go  before  thee ; 

The  glory  of  Jehovah  shall  be  thy  rearward. 

26  Then  shalt  thou  call,  and  Jehovah  shall  answer ; 

Thou  shalt  cry,  and  He  shall  say,  Here  I  am. 

27  If  thou  take  away  from  the  midst  of  thee  the  yoke, 

TJie  putting  forth  of  the  finger,  and  speaking  wickedly; 

28  And  if  thou  draw  out  thy  soul  to  the  hungry, 

And  satisfy  the  afflicted  soul; 

29  Then  shall  thy  light  rise  in  darkness. 

And  thine  obscurity  be  as  the  noonday: 

30  And  Jehovah  shaU  guide  thee  continually, 

And  satisfy  thy  soul  in  dry  places,  and  make  strong  thy  bones;

32  And  they  that  shall  be  of  thee  shall  build  the  old  waste  places : 

Thou  shalt  raise  up  the  foundations  of  many  generations  ; 

33  And  thou  shalt  be  called,  The  repairer  of  the  breach, 

TJie  restorer  of  paths  to  divell  in. 

34  If  thou  turn  away  thy  foot  from  the  Sabbath, 

From  doing  thy  pleasure  on  My  holy  day  ; 

35  And  call  the  Sabbath  a  delight, 

And  the  holy  of  Jehovah  honorable; 

36  And  shalt  honor  it,  not  doing  thine  own  ways. 

Nor  finding  thine  oivn  pleasure,  nor  speaking  thine  own  tvords: 

37  Then  shalt  thou  deUght  thyself  in  Jehovah ; 

And  I  will  make  thee  to  ride  upon  the  high  places  of  the  earth; 

38  And  I  will  feed  thee  with  the  heritage  of  Jacob  thy  father : 

For  the  mouth  of  Jehovah  hath  spoken  it.

Lo  !  with  deep  contrition  turning. 

In  Thy  holy  place  we  bend ; 
Hear  us,  fasting,  praying,  mourning ; 

Hear  us,  spare  us,  and  defend.

2  Though  our  sins,our  hearts  confounding. 

Long  and  loud  for  vengeance  call. 
Thou  hast  mercy  more  abounding, 

Jesus'  blood  can  cleanse  them  aU ; 
Let  that  mercy  vail  transgression, 

Let  that  blood  our  guilt  efface  j 
Save  Thy  people  from  oppression, 

Save  from  spoil  Thy  holy  place.

And  our  enemies  laugh  among  themselves.

And  cause  Thy  face  to  shine,  and  we  shall  be  saved.

And  it  took  deep  root,  and  filled  the  land. 

31  The  mountains  were  covered  with  the  shadow  of  it, 

And  the  boughs  thereof  u-ere  like  cedars  of  God.

And  her  shoots  unto  the  JRiver. 

33  Why  hast  Thou  broken  down  her  fences, 

So  that  all  they  who  pass  by  the  way  do  pluck  her  ? 

34  The  boar  out  of  the  wood  doth  ravage  it, 

And  the  ivild  beasts  of  the  field  feed  on  it. 

35  Turn  again,  we  beseech  Thee,  0  God  of  hosts ; 
Look  down  from  heaven. 

And  behold  and  visit  this  vine, 

36  And  the  stock  which  Thy  right  hand  hath  planted, 

And  the  branch  that  Thou  madest  strong  for  Thyself. 

37  It  is  burned  with  fii*e,  it  is  cut  down  : 

Tliey  perish  at  the  rebuke  of  Thy  countenance. 

38  Let  Thy  hand  be  upon  the  man  of  Thy  right  hand. 

Upon  the  son  of  man  whom  Thou  madest  strong  for  Thyself

Quicken  Thou  us,  and  we  will  call  upon  Thy  Name.

Cause  Thy  face  to  shine,  and  we  shall  be  saved.

*HUS  speaketh  Jehovah  of  hosts,  saying, 
Behold  the  man  whose  name  is  the  Branch ; 
And  he  shall  grow  up  out  of  his  place, 
And  he  shall  build  the  temple  of  Jehovah ; 
Even  he  shall  build  the  temple  of  Jehovah ; 

3  And  he  shall  bear  the  glory. 
And  shall  sit  and  rule  upon  his  throne; 
And  he  shall  be  a  priest  upon  his  throne: 

4  And  the  counsel  of  peace  shall  be  between  them  both. 
And  they  that  are  far  off  shall  come  and  build  in  the  temple  of 

Jehovah. 

5  Rejoice  greatly,  O  daughter  of  Zion  ; 
Shout,  0  daughter  of  Jerusalem  : 

6  Behold,  thy  King  cometh  unto  thee : 
He  is  just,  and  having  salvation; 

7  Lowly,  and  riding  upon  an  ass. 
Even  upon  a  colt,  the  foal  of  an  ass. 

8  And  I  will  cut  off  the  chariot  from  Ephraim, 
And  the  horse  from  Jerusalem; 

9  And  the  battle  bow  shall  be  cut  off ; 
And  he  shall  speak  peace  unto  the  nations: 

10  And  his  dominion  shall  be  from  sea  to  sea. 
And  from  the  Eiver  to  the  ends  of  the  earth. 

11  As  for  thee  also,  because  of  the  blood  of  thy  covenant, 
I  have  sent  forth  thy  prisoners  out  of  the  pit  wherein  is  no  water. 

12  Turn  you  to  the  stronghold,  ye  prisoners  of  hope : 
Even  to-day  do  I  declare  that  I  will  render  double  unto  thee.

13  Thus  saith  Jehovah :  I  will  pour  upon  the  house  of  David, 

And  upon  the  inhabitants  of  Jerusalem, 

14  The  spirit  of  grace  and  of  supplication ; 

And  they  shall  look  unto  Me  whom  they  have  pierced: 

15  And  they  shall  mourn  for  him, 

As  one  mourneth  for  his  only  son; 

16  And  shall  be  in  bitterness  for  him, 

As  one  that  is  in  bitterness  for  his  firstborn. 

17  In  that  day  there  shall  be  a  fountain  opened  to  the  house  of 

David 
And  to  the  inhabitants  of  Jerusalem, 
For  sin  and  for  uncleanness. 

18  Awake,  0  sword,  against  My  shepherd, 

And  against  the  Man  that  is  My  felloiv,  saith  Jehovah  of  hosts  : 

19  Smite  the  shepherd,  and  the  sheep  shall  be  scattered ; 

And  I  will  turn  My  hand  upon  the  little  ones. 

20  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that  in  all  the  land,  saith  Jehovah, 
Two  parts  therein  shall  be  cut  off  and  die ; 

But  the  third  shall  be  left  therein. 

21  And  I  wiU  bring  the  third  part  through  the  fire, 
And  win  refine  them  as  silver  is  refined ; 

And  will  try  them  as  gold  is  tried: 

22  They  shall  call  on  My  Name, 

And  I  will  hear  them: 

23  I  will  say,  it  is  My  people ; 

And  they  shall  say,  Jehovah  is  my  God. 

24  It  shall  come  to  pass  in  that  day, 

That  the  light  shall  be  not  with  brightness  and  with  gloom : 
But  it  shall  be  one  day  which  is  known  unto  Jehovah  ; 

25  Not  day,  and  not  night : 

But  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that  at  evening-time  there  shall  be  light. 

26  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in  that  day. 

That  living  ivaters  shall  go  out  from  Jerusalem  ; 

27  Half  of  them  toward  the  eastern  sea. 

And  half  of  them  toward  the  western  sea: 

In  summer  and  in  winter  shall  it  be. 

28  And  Jehovah  shall  be  King  over  all  the  earth  : 

In  that  day  shall  Jehovah  be  One,  and  His  Name  one.

Nor  take  their  names  upon  my  lips.

'He  was  oppressed,  yet  when  He  was  afldicted 
He  opened  not  His  mouth : 
As  a  lamb  that  is  led  to  the  slaughter, 
And  as  a  sheep  that  before  her  shearers  is  dumb. 
So  He  opened  not  His  mouth.

<i§CnptUrC     HCiSf^OttiSf  Old  covenant        Ex.  xii,  21-27. 

Gospel    From  Matt,  xxvi,  xxvii ;  and  Luke,  xxiii. 


AND  they  that  had  taken  Jesus  led 
Him  away  to  the  house  of  Caiaphas 
the  high  priest,  where  the  scribes  and 
the  elders  were  gathered  together.  But 
Peter  followed  Him  afar  off,  unto  the 
court  of  the  high  priest,  and  entered  in, 
and  sat  with  the  officers,  to  see  the  end. 
Now  the  chief  priests  and  the  whole 
council  sought  false  witness  against 
Jesus,  that  they  might  put  Him  to  death ; 
and  they  found  it  not,  though  many  false 
witnesses  came.  But  afterward  came 
two,  and  said.  This  man  said,  I  am  able 
to  destroy  the  temple  of  God,  and  to 
build  it  in  three  days.  And  the  high 
priest  stood  up,  and  said  unto  Him,  An- 
swerest  thou  nothing  ?  what  is  it  which 
these  witness  against  thee  %  But  Jesus 
held  His  peace.  And  the  high  priest  said 
unto  Him,  I  adjure  thee  by  the  Uving 
God,  that  thou  tell  us  whether  thou  be 
the  Christ,  the  Son  of  God.  Jesus  saith 
unto  him,  Thou  hast  said:  nevertheless 
I  say  unto  you.  Henceforth  ye  shall  see 
the  Son  of  Man  sitting  at  the  right  hand 


of  power,  and  coming  on  the  clouds  of 
heaven.  Then  the  high  priest  rent  his 
garments,  saying.  He  hath  spoken  blas- 
phemy :  what  further  need  have  we  of 
witnesses  %  behold,  now  ye  have  heard 
the  blasphemy:  what  think  ye!  They 
answered  and  said.  He  is  worthy  of 
death.  Then  did  they  spit  in  His  face 
and  buffet  Him:  and  some  smote  Him 
with  the  palms  of  their  hands,  saying. 
Prophesy  ujito  us,  thou  Christ :  who  is 
he  that  struck  thee  ? 

Now  when  morning  was  come,  all  the 
chief  priests  and  the  elders  of  the  people 
took  counsel  against  Jesus  to  put  Him  to 
death :  and  they  bound  Him,  and  led 
Him  away,  and  delivered  Him  up  to 
Pilate  the  governor. 

Now  Jesus  stood  before  the  governor : 
and  the  governor  asked  Him,  saying,  Art 
thou  the  King  of  the  Jews  ?  And  Jesus 
said  unto  him,  Thou  sayest.  And  when 
He  was  accused  by  the  chief  priests  and 
elders,  He  answered  nothing.  Then  saith 
Pilate  unto  Him,  Hearest  thou  not  how 


83

21.    THE   CRUCIFIXION   DAY — MORNING 


many  things  they  witness  against  tliee  ? 
And  He  gave  him  no  answer,  not  even  to 
one  word:  insomuch  that  the  governor 
marveled  greatly. 

And  Pilate  caUed  together  the  chief 
priests  and  the  rulers  and  the  people, 
and  said  unto  them,  Ye  brought  unto  me 
this  man,  as  one  that  perverteth  the 
people  :  and  behold,  I,  having  examined 
him  before  you,  found  no  fault  in  this 
man  touching  those  things  whereof  ye 
accuse  him :  no,  nor  yet  Herod :  for  he 
sent  him  back  unto  us;  and  behold, 
nothing  worthy  of  death  hath  been  done 
by  him.  I  will  therefore  chastise  him, 
and  release  him.  But  they  cried  out  all 
together,  saying,  Away  with  this  man, 
and  release  unto  us  Barabbas :  one  who 
for  a  certain  insurrection  made  in  the 
city,  and  for  murder,  was  cast  into 
prison.  And  Pilate  spake  unto  them 
again,  desiring  to  release  Jesus ;  but 
they  shouted,  saying,  Crucify,  crucify 
him.  And  he  said  unto  them  the  thu'd 
time,  Why,  what  evil  hath  this  man 
done  °?  I  have  found  no  cause  of  death 
in  him :  I  will  therefore  chastise  him, 
and  release  him.  But  they  were  urgent 
with  loud  voices,  asking  that  he  might 
be  crucified.   And  their  voices  prevailed. 

So  when  PUate  saw  that  he  prevailed 
nothing,  but  rather  that  a  tumult  was 
arising,  he  took  water,  and  washed  his 
hands  before  the  multitude,  saying,  I  am 
innocent  of  the  blood  of  this  righteous 
man:  see  ye  to  it.  And  all  the  people 
answered  and  said.  His  blood  be  on 
us,  and  on  our  children.  Then  released 
he  unto  them  Barabbas:  but  Jesus  he 
scourged  and  dehvered  to  be  crucified. 

Then  the  soldiers  of  the  governor  took 
Jesus  into  the  Praetorium,  and  gathered 
unto  Him  the  whole  band.  And  they 
stripped  Him,  and  put  on  Him  a  scarlet 
robe.  And  they  plaited  a  crown  of 
thorns  and  put  it  upon  His  head,  and  a 
reed  in  His  right  hand ;  and  they  kneeled 
down  before  Him,  and  mocked  Him,  say- 
ing. Hail,  King  of  the  Jews !  And  they 
spat  upon  Him,  and  took  the  reed  and 


smote  Him  on  the  head.  And  when  they 
had  mocked  Him,  they  took  off  from  Him 
the  robe,  and  put  on  Him  His  garments, 
and  led  Him  away  to  crucify  Him. 

And  there  were  also  two  others,  male- 
factors, led  with  Him  to  be  put  to  death. 

And  when  they  came  unto  the  place 
which  is  called  The  Skull,  there  they  cru- 
cified Him,  and  the  malefactors,  one  on 
the  right  and  the  other  on  the  left.  And 
when  they  had  crucified  Him,  they  parted 
His  garments  among  them,  casting  lots ; 
and  they  sat  and  watched  Him  there. 
And  they  set  up  over  His  head  His  ac- 
cusation written.  This  IS  Jesus  the 
King  of  the  Jews. 

And  Jesus  said,  Father,  forgive  them ; 
for  they  know  not  what  they  do. 

And  they  that  passed  by  railed  on 
Him,  wagging  their  heads,  and  saying, 
Thou  that  destroyest  the  temple,  and 
buUdest  it  in  three  days,  save  thyself : 
if  thou  art  the  Son  of  God,  come  down 
from  the  cross.  In  hke  manner  also  the 
chief  priests  mocking  Him,  with  the 
scribes  and  elders,  said,  He  saved  others ; 
himself  he  cannot  save.  He  is  the  King 
of  Israel ;  let  him  now  come  down  from 
the  cross,  and  we  will  beheve  on  him. 
He  trusted  on  God ;  let  Him  deliver  him 
now,  if  He  desireth  him :  for  he  said,  I 
am  the  Son  of  God.  And  the  soldiers 
also  mocked  Him,  coming  to  Him,  offer- 
ing Him  vinegar,  and  saying.  If  thou  art 
the  King  of  the  Jews,  save  thyself. 

And  one  of  the  malefactors  that  were 
hanged  railed  on  Him,  saying.  Art  not 
thou  the  Christ?  save  thyself  and  us. 
But  the  other  answered,  and  rebuking 
him  said,  Dost  thou  not  even  fear  God, 
seeing  thou  art  in  the  same  condemna- 
tion'? And  we  indeed  justly;  for  we 
receive  the  due  reward  of  om*  deeds: 
but  this  man  hath  done  nothing  amiss. 
And  he  said,  Jesus,  remember  me  when 
Thou  comest  in  Thy  kingdom.  And  He 
said  unto  him.  Verily  I  say  unto  thee,  To- 
day shalt  thou  be  with  Me  in  paradise. 

And  it  was  now  about  the  sixth  hour, 
and  a  darkness  came  over  the  whole  land 


21.     THE   CRUCIFIXION   DAY — MORNING  85 

until  the  ninth  hour,  the  sun's  hght  fail-  loud  voice,  said,  Father,  into  Thy  hands 
ing :  and  the  veil  of  the  temple  was  rent  I  commend  My  spirit :  and  having  said 
in  the  midst.    And  Jesus,  crying  with  a     this,  He  gave  up  the  ghost.

BEHOLD,  My  Servant  shall  deal  wisely, 
He  shall  be  exalted  and  lifted  up. 
And  shall  he  very  high. 

2  Like  as  many  were  astonished  at  thee 

(His  visage  was  so  maiTed  more  than  any  man, 
And  his  form  more  than  the  sons  of  men), 

3  So  shall  he  sprinkle  many  nations ; 

Kings  shall  shut  their  mouths  because  of  him  : 

4  For  that  which  had  not  been  told  them  shall  they  see. 

And  that  which  they  had  not  heard  shall  they  understand. 

5  Who  hath  believed  our  report  ? 

And  to  ichom  hath  the  arm  of  Jehovah  been  revealed? 

6  For  he  grew  up  before  Him  as  a  tender  plant, 

And  as  a  root  out  of  a  dry  ground: 

7  He  hath  no  form  nor  comeUness ; 

And  tvhen  toe  see  him  there  is  no  beauty  that  we  should  desire  Mm. 

8  He  was  despised,  and  rejected  of  men ; 

A  man  of  sorroics,  and  acquainted  with  grief: 

9  And  as  one  from  whom  men  hide  their  face  he  was  despised, 

And  we  esteemed  him  not. 

10  Surely  he  hath  borne  our  griefs 

And  carried  our  sorroivs: 

11  Yet  we  did  esteem  him  stricken. 

Smitten  of  God,  and  afflicted. 

12  But  he  was  wounded  for  our  transgressions, 

He  ivas  bruised  for  our  iniquities : 

13  The  chastisement  of  our  peace  was  upon  him ; 

And  with  his  stripes  ice  are  healed. 
u  All  we  like  sheep  have  gone  astray ; 

We  have  turned  every  one  to  his  own  way : 

And  Jehovah  hath  laid  on  him  the  iniquity  of  us  all. 

15  He  was  oppressed,  yet  when  he  was  afflicted 

He  opened  not  his  mouth : 

16  As  a  lamb  that  is  led  to  the  slaughter, 

And  as  a  sheep  that  before  her  shearers  is  dumb, 

17  So  he  opened  not  his  mouth. 

By  oppression  and  judgment  he  teas  taken  aivay  ; 

18  And  as  for  his  generation, 

Who  among  them  considered 

19  That  he  was  cut  off  out  of  the  land  of  the  living 
For  the  transgression  of  my  people 

To  tvhom  the  stroke  was  duef

20  And  they  made  his  grave  with  the  wicked, 

And  with  a  rich  man  in  his  death; 

21  Although  he  had  done  no  violence, 

Neither  teas  any  deceit  in  his  mouth. 

22  Yet  it  pleased  Jehovah  to  bruise  him ; 

He  hath  put  him  to  grief: 

23  When  Thou  shalt  make  his  soul  an  offering  for  sin, 

He  shall  see  his  seed, 

24  He  shall  prolong  his  days, 

And  the  pleasure  of  Jehovah  shall  prosper  in  his  hand. 

25  He  shall  see  of  the  travail  of  his  soul, 

And  shall  be  satisfied : 

26  By  the  knowledge  of  himself  shall  My  righteous  Servant  justify 

many: 
And  he  shall  bear  their  iniquities. 

27  Therefore  will  I  divide  him  a  portion  with  the  great. 

And  he  shall  divide  the  spoil  ivith  the  strong : 

28  Because  he  poured  out  his  soul  unto  death. 

And  ivas  numbered  icitli  the  transgressors : 

29  Yet  he  bare  the  sin  of  many, 

And  made  intercession  for  the  transgressors.

in  the  blood  of  the  Lamb  of  God,  Thine  only -begotten  Son,  manifesting  to  us 
sinners  Thine  unfathomable  love:  Hear  us  in  His  Name. 

We  humbly  beseech  Thee,  by  the  awful  mystery  of  His  cross  and  Thy  sacrifice 
in  Him,  to  have  mercy  on  us  and  on  all  men ;  and  to  make  known  this,  Thy  great 
salvation  unto  aU  nations,  that  He  may  see  of  the  travail  of  His  soul  and  be 
satisfied:  Hear  us  in  His  Name. 

We  beseech  Thee,  that  Thou,  who  hast  loved  Thy  Church  with  an  everlasting 
love,  wouldst  by  Thy  blessed  Spirit  rule  the  whole  estate  thereof,  and  graciously 
guide  and  keep  every  member  of  the  same  in  true  faith  and  aU  good  works  accord- 
ing to  Christ  Jesus :  Hear  us  in  His  Name. 

We  beseech  Thee,  that  Thou,  who  of  old  didst  call  forth  from  among  idolaters 
Thy  servant  Abraham  and  madest  him  the  Friend  of  God,  wouldst  remember  the 
mercy  of  Thy  covenant  with  him,  and  show  compassion  on  his  children,  Thine 
ancient  people,  and  take  away  the  bhndness  of  their  heart,  so  that  they  may  behold 
their  Christ  and  King :  Hear  us  in  His  Name. 

We  beseech  Thee,  that  Thou  who  hast  made  all  men  and  hatest  nothing  that 
Thou  hast  made,  and  desirest  not  the  death  of  a  sinner,  wouldst  show  mercy  in 
Christ  Jesus  on  aU  Pagans,  Moslems,  and  Infidels,  and  on  all  hearers  of  the  gospel

And  so  —  since  Thou  hast  given  Thy  Son  for  all  mankind — bring  them  all, 
Blessed  Lord,  whatsoever  Thou  hast  given  Him,  home  to  Thy  fold,  that  they  all 
may  be  saved  among  the  remnant  of  Thy  true  Israel,  and  be  made  one  flock  under 
one  Shepherd,  Thy  Son  Jesus  Christ :  Hear  us  in  His  Name  : 

In  His  Name  who  was  dead,  and  is  alive  forevermore,  and  reigneth  with  Thee.

To  them  who  seek  Thee  ever  near,

Whose  power  our  inbred  sin  controls, 
Breaks  the  firm  bond,  and  frees  our  souls,

Hast  deigned  a  mortal  form  to  wear, 
A  mortal's  painful  lot  to  bear. 

4  When  Thou  didst  hang  upon  the  tree, 
The  quaking  earth  acknowledged  Thee ; 
When  Thou  didst  there  yield   up   Thy

The  world  grew  dark  as  shades  of  death.

And  reign  through  ages  without  end.

Then  tvould  I  fly  aioay,  and  be  at  rest. 

8  Lo,  then  would  I  wander  far  off, 

I  looidd  lodge  in  the  ivilderness. 

9  I  would  haste  me  to  a  shelter 

From  the  stormy  wind  and  tempest. 

10  Destroy,  0  Lord,  and  divide  their  tongue  : 

For  I  have  seen  violence  and  strife  in  the  city. 

11  Day  and  night  they  go  about  it  upon  the  walls  thereof : 

Iniquity  also  and  mischief  are  in  the  midst  of  it. 

12  "Wickedness  is  in  the  midst  thereof  : 

Oppression  and  guile  depart  not  from  her  streets. 

13  For  it  was  not  an  enemy  that  reproached  me ; 

Then  I  could  have  home  it: 

14  Neither  was  it  he  that  hated  me  that  did   magnify  himself 

against  me ; 
Tlien  I  tvould  have  hid  myself  from  him : 

15  But  it  was  thou,  a  man  mine  equal. 

My  companion,  and  my  familiar  friend. 

16  We  took  sweet  counsel  together, 

We  walked  in  the  house  of  God  with  the  throng. 

17  Let  death  come  suddenly  upon  them, 

Let  them  go  doivn  alive  into  Sheol : 

18  For  wickedness  is  in  their  dwelling. 

In  the  midst  of  them. 

19  As  for  me,  I  will  caU  upon  God ; 

And  Jehovah  shall  save  me. 

20  Evening,  and  morning,  and  at  noonday,  wiU  I  complain  and  moan; 

And  He  shall  hear  my  voice. 

21  He  hath  redeemed  my  soul. in  peace  from  the  battle  that  was 

against  me : 
For  they  ivere  many  that  strove  with  me.

21.    THE   CEUCIFIXION   DAY  —  EVENING 


22  God  shall  hear,  and  answer  them — even  He  that  abideth  of  old — 

The  men  lolio  have  no  changes,  and  ivho  fear  not  God. 

23  He  hath  put  forth  his  hands  against  such  as  were  at  peace  with 

him: 
He  hath  profaned  his  covenant. 

24  His  mouth  was  smooth  as  butter, 

But  his  heart  tvas  ivar: 

25  His  words  were  softer  than  oil. 

Yet  ivere  they  drawn  sivords. 

26  Cast  thy  burden  upon  Jehovah,  and  He  shall  sustain  thee : 

He  shall  never  suffer  the  righteous  one  to  he  moved. 

27  But  Thou,   0    God,  shalt   bring  them   down  into   the   pit  of 

destruction : 
Bloodthirsty  and  deceitful  men  shall  not  live  out  half  their  days  ; 
But  I  WILL  TRUST  IN  Thee.

Incline  Thine  ear  unto  my  cry;

And  my  life  draiceth  nigh  unto  Sheol. 

4  I  am  counted  with  them  that  go  down  into  tlie  pit ;

5  Cast  off  among  the  dead. 

Like  the  slain  that  lie  in  the  grave, 

6  Whom  Thou  rememberest  no  more ; 

And  they  are  cut  off  from  Thy  hand.

In  dark  places,  in  the  deeps.

8  Thy  wrath  lieth  hard  upon  me, 

And  Thou  hast  afflicted  me  ivith  all  Thy  waves. 

9  Thou  hast  put  mine  acquaintance  far  from  me  ; 

Thou  hast  made  me  an  abomination  unto  them : 

10  I  am  shut  up,  and  I  cannot  come  forth. 

3Iine  eye  wasteth  aicay  by  reason  of  affliction :

Why  hidcst  Thou  Thy  face  from  me  ? 

17  I  am  afflicted  and  ready  to  die  from  my  youth  up  : 

While  I  suffer  TJiy  terrors  I  am  distracted. 

18  Thy  fierce  wrath  has  gone  over  me  ; 

Thy  terrors  have  cut  me  off. 

19  They  came  round  about  me  like  water  all  the  day  long ; 

TJiey  compassed  me  about  together. 

20  Lover  and  friend  hast  Thou  put  far  from  me, 

And  mine  acquaintance  into  darkness. 


21  0  Jehovah,  how  are  mine  adversaries  increased ! 

Many  are  they  that  rise  up  against  me. 

22  Many  there  are  who  say  of  my  soul, 

There  is  no  help  for  him  in  God. 

23  But  Thou,  Jehovah,  art  a  shield  about  me ; 

3Iy  glory,  and  the  lifter  up  of  my  head. 

24  I  cry  imto  Jehovah,  with  my  voice. 

And  He  ansiocreth  me  out  of  His  holy  hill. 

25  I  laid  me  down  and  slept ;  I  awaked ; 

For  Jehovah  sustaineth  me. 

26  I  will  not  be  afraid  of  ten  thousands  of  the  people, 

That  have  set  themselves  against  me  round  about. 

27  Arise,  O  Jehovah  ; 

Save  me,  0  my  God: 

28  For  Thou  hast  smitten  all  mine  enemies  upon  the  cheek  bone  ; 

Thou  hast  broken  the  teeth  of  the  wicked. 

29  Salvation  belongeth  unto  Jehovah  : 

Thy  blessing  be  upon  Thy  people. 


30  Answer  me  when  I  call,  O  God  of  my  righteousness  ; 

Thou  hast  set  me  at  large  when  I  was  in  distress: 

31  Have  mercy  upon  me. 

And  hear  my  prayer.

Hoiv  long  will  ye  love  vanity,  and  seek  after  falsehood  ? 

33  But  know  that  Jehovah  hath  set  apart  him  that  is  godly  for 

Himself : 
Jehovah  will  hear  when  I  call  unto  Him. 

34  Stand  in  awe,  and  sin  not : 

Commune  ivith  your  oivn  heart  upon  your  bed,  and  be  still. 

35  Offer  the  sacrifices  of  righteousness, 

And  put  your  trust  in  Jehovah. 

36  Many  there  are  that  say,  Who  will  show  us  any  good  ? 

0  Jehovah,  lift  Thou  up  the  light  of  Thy  countenance  upon  us. 

37  Thou  hast  put  gladness  in  my  heart, 

3Iore  than  they  have  tvhen  their  grain  and  their  new  wine  are 
increased. 

38  In  peace  will  I  both  lay  me  down  and  sleep  : 

For  Thou,  Jehovah,  alone  rnakest  me  dwell  in  safety. 


39  I  CALLED  by  reason  of  mine  affliction  unto  Jehovah, 

And  He  answered  me; 

40  Out  of  the  belly  of  Sheol  cried  I, 

And  Thou  heardest  my  voice. 

41  For  Thou  didst  cast  me  into  the  depth, 

In  the  heart  of  the  seas. 

42  And  the  flood  was  round  about  me  : 

All  Thy  waves  and  Thy  billows  passed  over  me. 

43  And  I  said,  I  am  cast  out  from  before  Thine  eyes  ; 

Yet  I  ivill  look  again  toivard  Thy  holy  temple. 

44  The  waters  compassed  me  about, 

Even  to  the  soul; 

45  The  deep  was  round  about  me  ; 

The  weeds  tvere  ivrapped  about  my  head. 

46  I  went  down  to  the  bottoms  of  the  mountains  ; 

The  earth  with  her  bars  closed  upon  me  forever : 

47  Yet  hast  thou  brought  up  my  life  from  Sheol,  0  Jehovah  my 

God. 
When  my  soul  fainted  loithin  me,  I  remembered  Jehovah : 

48  And  my  prayer  came  in  unto  Thee, 

Into  Thy  holy  temple. 

49  They   that   regard   lying   vanities   forsake    their    own    loving- 

kindness. 
But  I  will  sacrifice  unto  Thee  with  the  voice  of  thanksgiving. 

50  I  wiU  pay  that  which  I  have  vowed. 

Salvation  is  of  Jehovah.

I  LOVE  Thee,  0  Jehovah,  my  strength. 
Jehovah  is  my  rock  and  my  fortress  and  my  deliverer  : 

2  My  God,  my  strong  rock,  in  Him  wiU  I  take  refuge  ; 

My  shield  and  the  horn  of  my  salvation,  my  high  tower. 

3  I  win  call  upon  Jehovah,  who  is  worthy  to  be  praised : 

So  shall  I  he  saved  from  mine  enemies. 

4  The  cords  of  death  compassed  me. 

And  the  floods  of  ungodliness  made  me  afraid. 

5  The  cords  of  Sheol  were  round  about  me. 

The  snares  of  death  came  upon  me. 

6  In  my  distress  I  called  upon  Jehovah, 

And  cried  unto  my  God: 

7  He  heard  my  voice  out  of  His  temple, 

And  my  cry  before  Him  came  into  His  ears. 

8  Then  the  earth  shook  and  trembled. 

The  foundations  also  of  the  mountains  quaked. 
And  were  shaken,  because  He  was  wroth. 

9  There  went  up  a  smoke  out  of  His  nostrils. 
And  fire  out  of  His  mouth  devoured : 

Coals  ivere  kindled  by  it. 

10  He  bowed  the  heavens  also,  and  came  down ; 

And  thick  darkness  teas  under  His  feet. 

11  And  He  rode  upon  a  cherub,  and  did  fly  ; 

Yea,  He  flew  swiftly  upon  the  wings  of  the  wind. 

12  He  made  darkness  His  hiding  place. 

His  pavilion  round  about  Him  ; 

13  Darkness  of  waters, 

Thick  clouds  of  the  skies. 

14  At  the  brightness  before  Him,  His  thick  clouds  passed. 

Hailstones  and  coals  of  fire. 

15  And  He  sent  out  His  arrows,  and  scattered  them : 

Yea,  lightnings  manifold,  and  discomfited  them.

23-    THE  RESURRECTION  DAY — EVENING  101 

16  Then  the  channels  of  waters  appeared, 

And  the  foundations  of  the  world  were  laid  hare, 

17  At  Thy  rebuke,  0  Jehovah, 

At  the  blast  of  the  breath  of  Thy  nostrils. 

18  He  sent  from  on  high,  He  took  me ; 

He  drew  me  out  of  many  icaters. 

19  He  delivered  me  from  my  strong  enemy. 

And  from  them  that  hated  me,  for  they  were  too  mighty  for  me. 

20  They  came  upon  me  in  the  day  of  my  calamity : 

But  Jehovah  teas  my  stay. 

21  He  brought  me  forth  also  into  a  large  place ; 

He  delivered  me,  because  He  delighted  in  me. 

22  For  aU  His  judgments  were  before  me, 

And  I  put  not  away  His  statutes  from  me. 

23  Therefore  hath  Jehovah  recompensed  me  according  to  my  right- 

eousness. 
According  to  the  cleanness  of  my  hands  in  His  eyesight. 

24  With  the  merciful  Thou  wilt  show  Thyself  merciful ; 

With  the  perfect  man  Thou  wilt  shoio  Thyself  perfect  ; 

25  As  for  God,  His  way  is  perfect : 
The  word  of  Jehovah  is  tried ; 

He  is  a  shield  unto  all  them  that  take  refuge  in  Him. 

26  For  who  is  God,  save  Jehovah  1 

And  ivho  is  a  rocJc,  beside  our  God  ?  — 

27  The  God  that  girdeth  me  with  strength. 

And  maketh  my  way  perfect. 

28  Thou  hast  also  given  me  the  shield  of  Thy  salvation : 

And  Thy  right  hand  hath  holden  me  up  ; 

And  Thy  gentleness  hath  made  me  great. 

29  Thou  hast  enlarged  my  steps  under  me. 

And  my  feet  have  not  slipped. 

30  Thou  hast  delivered  me  from  the  strivings  of  the  people ; 
Thou  hast  made  me  the  head  of  the  nations : 

A  people  whom  I  have  not  known  shall  serve  me. 

31  As  soon  as  they  hear  of  me  they  shall  obey  me  : 

TJie  strangers  shall  submit  themselves  unto  me. 

32  The  strangers  shall  fade  away, 

And  shall  come  trembling  out  of  their  close  places. 

33  Jehovah  liveth ;  and  blessed  be  my  rock  j 

And  exalted  be  the  God  of  my  salvation: 

34  Even  the  God  that  executeth  vengeance  for  me. 
And  subdueth  peoples  under  me. 

He  rescueth  me  from  mine  enemies : 

35  Yea,  Thou  liftest  me  up  above  them  that  rise  up  against  me  : 

Thou  deliverest  me  from  the  violent  man. 

36  Therefore  I  will  give  thanks  unto  Thee,  0  Jehovah,  among  the 

nations. 
And  tcill  sing  praises  unto  Thy  Name. 

37  Great  deliverance  giveth  He  to  His  king ; 
And  showeth  lovingkindness  to  His  anointed. 

To  David  and  to  his  seed,  for  evermore.

IF  it  had  not  been  Jehovali  who  was  on  our  side, 
Let  Israel  now  say  ; 

2  If  it  had  not  been  Jehovah  who  was  on  our  side, 

When  men  rose  up  against  us: 

3  Then  they  had  swallowed  us  up  aUve, 

When  their  wrath  teas  kindled  against  us : 
i  Then  the  waters  had  overwhehned  us, 
The  stream  had  gone  over  our  soul: 

Then  the  proud  tvaters  had  gone  over  our  soul. 

5  Blessed  be  Jehovah, 

Who  hath  not  given  us  as  a  prey  to  their  teeth. 

6  Our  soul  is  escaped  as  a  bird  out  of  the  snare  of  the  fowlers : 

The  snare  is  broken,  and  we  are  escaped. 

7  Our  help  is  in  the  Name  of  Jehovah, 

Who  made  heaven  and  earth. 


8  They  that  trust  in  Jehovah 

Are  as  Mount  Zion,  which  cannot  be  moved, 
But  abideth  forever. 

9  As  the  mountains  are  round  about  Jerusalem, 

So  Jehovah  is  round  about  His  people, 

From  this  time  forth  and  forevermore. 
10  For  the  scepter  of  wickedness  shall  not  rest  upon  the  lot  of  the 
righteous ; 

That  the  righteous  put  not  forth  their  hands  unto  iniquity, 
n  Do  good,  O  Jehovah,  unto  those  that  are  good, 

A7id  to  them  that  are  upright  in  their  hearts. 
12  But  as  for  such  as  turn  aside  unto  their  crooked  ways, 

Jehovah  shall  lead  them  forth  with  the  workers  of  iniquity. 
Peace  be  upon  Israel. 


13  When  Jehovah  brought  back  those  that  returned  to  Zion, 

We  were  like  unto  them  that  dream. 

14  Then  was  our  mouth  filled  with  laughter, 

And  our  tongue  tvith  singing: 

15  Then  said  they  among  the  nations,  Jehovah  hath  done  great 

things  for  them. 
Jehovah  hath  done  great  things  for  us;  whereof  we  are  glad. 

16  Turn  again  our  captivity,  0  Jehovah, 

As  the  streams  in  the  South. 

They  that  sow  in  tears  shall  reap  in  joy. 

17  Though  he  goeth  on  his  way  weeping. 

Bearing  forth  the  seed; 

18  He  shaU  come  again  with  joy, 

Bringing  his  sheaves  with  him. 


19  0  PRAISE  Jehovah,  all  ye  nations ; 

Laud  Him,  all  ye  peoples. 

20  For  His  lovingkindness  is  great  toward  us ; 

And  the  truth  of  Jehovah  endureth  forever. 
Praise  ye  Jehovah.

Upon  His  brow  a  crown  ; 
The  gates  of  brass  fly  open,

From  off  the  fettered  captive 

The  chains  of  Satan  fall,

2  Oh,  Christ,  Thy  love  is  mighty ! 

Long-suffering  is  Thy  grace ; 
And  glorious  is  the  splendor 

That  beameth  from  Thy  face. 
Our  hearts  up-leap  in  gladness 

When  we  behold  that  love, 
As  we  go  singing  onward 

To  dwell  with  Thee  above.

Out  of  every  nation,  and  of  all  tribes  and  peoples  and  tongues, 
Standing  before  the  throne  and  before  the  Lamb, 
Arrayed  in  white  robes,   and  pahns  in  their  hands;  and  they  cry 

with  a  great  voice,  saying  —

Because  of  the  fury  of  the  oppressor,

The  captive  exile  shall  speedily  he  loosed ;

Neither  shall  his  bread  fail.

Who  stirreth  up  the  sea,  that  the  waves  thereof  roar : 
Jehovah  of  hosts  is  His  Name. 

28  And  I  have  put  My  words  in  thy  mouth, 

And  have  covered  thee  in  the  shadow  of  My  hand,

And  the  floods  of  ungodliness  1  made  *  me  a-  |  fraid. 
The  cords  of  Sheol  were  round  about  me ; 
The  snares  of  |  death  |  came  up-  |  on  me. 

3  In  my  distress  I  call'd  upon  Jehovah, 
And  cried  |  unto  my  |  God. 

He  heard  my  voice  out  of  His  temple. 

And  my  cry  before  |  Him  came  |  into  His  |  ears. 

4  He  bow'd  the  heavens  also,  and  came  down, 
And  thick  darkness  was  |  under  His  |  feet. 

The  foundations  of  the  world  were  laid  bare. 
At  I  Thy  re-  |  buke,  0  Je-  |  hovah.

And    from    them    that    hated    me,    for  |  they  •  were    too  | 
might-y  |  for  me. 

6  Thou  hast  also  given  me  the  shield  of  |  Thy  sal-  |  vation : 

And  Thy  right  hand  hath  holden  me  up, 

And  Thy  gentle-  |  ness  hath  |  made  me  |  great. 

7  Thou  hast  dehver'd  me  from  the  strivings  |  of  the  |  people  ; 

Thou  hast  made  |  me  the  |  head  *  of  the  |  nations : 

8  A  people  whom  I  have  not  known  shall  |  serve  1  me. 

Thou  liftest  me  up  above  |  them  that  |  rise  *  up  a-  |  gainst  me.

And  will  sing  |  prais-es  |  unto  Thy  |  Name.

And  their  faces  shall  never  he  confounded.

And  saved  him  out  of  all  his  troubles.

10  The  young  lions  do  lack,  and  suif  er  hunger : 

JBut  they  that  seek  Jehovah  shall  not  want  any  good  thing. 

11  Come,  ye  children,  hearken  unto  me : 

I  ivill  teach  you  the  fear  of  Jehovah. 

12  What  man  is  he  that  desireth  life, 

And  loveth  many  days  that  he  may  see  good? 

13  Keep  thy  tongue  from  evil, 

And  thy  lips  from  speaking  guile. 

14  Depart  from  evil,  and  do  good ; 

Seek  peace,  and  pursue  it.

20  He  keepeth  all  his  bones : 

Not  one  of  them  is  broken.

4  For  there  are  no  bands  in  their  death : 

But  their  strength  is  firm. 

5  They  are  not  in  trouble  as  other  men  ; 

Neither  are  they  plagued  like  other  men. 

6  Therefore  pride  is  a  chain  about  their  neck  ; 

Violeyiee  covereth  them  as  a  garment. 

7  Their  eyes  stand  out  with  fatness : 

They  have  more  than  heart  could  ivish. 

8  They  scoff,  and  in  wickedness  utter  oppression : 

They  speak  loftily. 

9  They  have  set  their  mouth  in  the  heavens, 

And  their  tongue  ivalketh  through  the  earth. 

10  Therefore  His  people  return  hither : 

And  waters  of  a  full  cup  are  drained  by  them. 

11  And  they  say,  How  doth  God  know  *?

And,  being  alway  at  ease,  they  ina'ease  in  riches. 

13  Surely  in  vain  have  I  cleansed  my  heart. 

And  washed  my  hands  in  innocency  ; 

14  For  all  the  day  long  have  I  been  plagued, 

And  chastened  every  morning. 

15  If  I  had  said,  I  will  speak  thus  ; 

Behold,   I  had  dealt  treacherously  with  the  generation  of  Thy 
children. 

16  When  I  thought  how  I  might  know  this, 

It  was  too  painful  for  me; 

17  Until  I  went  into  the  sanctuary  of  God, 

And  considered  their  latter  end. 

18  Surely  Thou  settest  them  in  slippery  places : 

Thou  easiest  them  doivn  to  destruction. 

19  How  are  they  become  a  desolation  in  a  moment ! 

Tliey  are  utterly  consumed  with  terrors. 

20  As  a  dream  when  one  awaketh ; 

So,    0  Lord,   when   Thou   aivakest.   Thou   shalt   despise    their 
image. 

21  For  my  heart  was  grieved, 

And  I  was  pricked  in  my  reins  : 

22  So  brutish  was  I,  and  ignorant ; 

I  was  as  a  beast  before  Thee. 

23  Nevertheless,  I  am  continually  with  Thee  : 

Thou  hast  holden  my  right  hand. 

24  Thou  shalt  guide  me  with  Thy  counsel, 

And  afterward  receive  me  to  glory. 

25  Whom  have  I  in  heaven  but  Thee  ? 

And  there  is  none  upon  earth  that  I  desire  beside  Thee. 

26  My  flesh  and  my  heart  faileth  : 

But  God  is  the  strength  of  my  heart  and  my  portion  forever. 

27  For,  lo,  they  that  are  far  from  Thee  shall  perish : 

Tliou  hast  destroyed  all  them  that  play  the  harlot  departing  from

And  spreading  himself  like  a  green  tree  in  its  native  soil.

That  I  may  dwell  in  the  house  of  Jehovah  all  the  days  of  my  life. 

7  To  behold  the  beauty  of  Jehovah, 

And  to  inquire  in  His  temple. 

8  For  in  the  day  of  trouble  He  shall  keep  me  secretly  in  His  pavilion : 

In  the  covert  of  His  tabernacle  shall  He  hide  me  ; 

9  He  shall  lift  me  up  upon  a  rock. 

And  now  shall  my  head  be  lifted  up  ahove  mine  enemies  round 
about  me ; 

10  And  I  will  offer  in  His  tabernacle  sacrifices  of  joy  ; 

I  will  sing,  yea,  I  will  sing  praises  unto  Jehovah. 

11  Hear,  0  Jehovah,  when  I  cry  with  my  voice : 

Have  mercy  also  upon  me,  and  answer  me. 

12  When  Thou  saidst,  Seek  ye  My  face ;  my  heart  said  unto  Thee, 

Thy  face,  0  Jehovah,  will  I  seek. 

13  Hide  not  Thy  face  from  me ; 

Put  not  Tliy  servant  aivay  in  anger: 

14  Thou  hast  been  my  help,  cast  me  not  off. 

Neither  forsake  me,  0  God  of  my  salvation. 

15  For  my  father  and  my  mother  have  forsaken  me, 

But  Jehovah  will  take  me  up. 

16  Teach  me  Thy  way,  0  Jehovah ; 

And  lead  me  in  a  plain  path, 

17  Because  of  mine  enemies. 

Deliver  me  not  over  unto  the  tvill  of  mine  adversaries: 


130      28.   lord's  day  fifth  after  the  resurrection — EVENING 

18  For  false  witnesses  are  risen  up  against  me, 

And  such  as  breathe  out  cruelty. 

19  I  had  fainted,  unless  I  had  believed  to  see  the  goodness  of  Jehovah 

In  the  land  of  the  living. 

20  Wait  for  Jehovah : 

Be  strong,  and  let  thy  heart  take  courage; 
Yea,  wait  thou  for  Jehovah. 


21  Unto  Thee,  0  Jehovah,  will  I  call : 

My  BocJc,  he  not  Thou  deaf  unto  me: 

22  Lest,  if  Thou  be  sUent  unto  me, 

I  become  like  them  that  go  down  into  the  pit. 

23  Hear  the  voice  of  my  supplications,  when  I  cry  unto  Thee, 

When  I  lift  up  my  hands  toward  Thy  holy  oracle. 

24  Draw  me  not  away  with  the  wicked. 

And  with  the  workers  of  iniquity  ; 

25  Who  speak  peace  with  their  neighbors, 

But  mischief  is  in  their  hearts. 

26  Give  them  according  to  their  work. 

And  according  to  the  wickedness  of  their  doings : 

27  Give  them  after  the  operation  of  their  hands ; 

Bender  to  them  their  desert. 

28  Because  they  regard  not  the  works  of  Jehovah, 

Nor  the  operation  of  His  hands. 

29  He  shall  break  them  down, 

And  not  build  them  up. 

30  Blessed  be  Jehovah, 

Because  He  hath  heard  the  voice  of  my  supplications. 

31  Jehovah  is  my  strength  and  my  shield  j 

3Iy  heart  hath  trusted  in  Him,  and  I  am  helped : 

32  Therefore,  my  heart  greatly  rejoiceth  j 

And  ivith  my  song  will  I  praise  Him. 

33  Jehovah  is  their  strength, 

And  He  is  a  stronghold  of  salvation  to  His  anointed. 

34  Save  Thy  people,  and  bless  Thine  inheritance : 

Be  their  Shepherd  also,  and  bear  them  up  forever.

Even  length  of  days  for  ever  and  ever. 

5  His  glory  is  great  in  Thy  salvation  : 

Honor  and  majesty  dost  Thou  lay  upon  him. 

6  For  Thou  makest  him  most  blessed  forever  : 

Thou  maJcest  him  glad  with  joy  in  Thy  presence.

And  through  the  lovingkindness  of  the  Most  High  he  shall  not  be

8  Thy  hand  shall  find  out  aU  Thine  enemies : 

Thy  right  hand  shall  find  out  those  that  hate  Thee. 

9  Thou  shalt  make  them  as  a  fiery  furnace 

In  the  time  of  Thine  anger. 

10  Jehovah  shall  swallow  them  up  in  His  wrath, 

And  the  fire  shall  devour  them. 

11  Their  fruit  shalt  Thou  destroy  from  the  earth, 

And  their  seed  from  among  the  children  of  men. 

12  For  they  intended  evil  against  Thee  : 

They  devised  a  device,  ivhich  they  are  not  able  to  perform.

In  the  midst  of  the  congregation  will  I  praise  Thee, 

16  Ye  that  fear  Jehovah,  praise  Him  ; 

All  ye  the  seed  of  Jacob,  glorify  Him. 

17  For  He  hath  not  despised  nor  abhorred  the  affliction  of  the  afflicted; 

Neither  hath  He  hid  His  face  from  him  ; 

But  when  he  cried  unto  Him,  He  heard. 

18  Of  Thee  cometh  my  praise  in  the  great  congregation  : 

I  will  pay  my  vows  before  them  that  fear  Him. 

19  All  the  ends  of  the  earth  shall  remember  and  turn  unto  Jehovah  :

Jesus  the  Son  of  God,

JEHOVAH,  remember  for  David  all  his  affliction  ; 
How  he  sware  unto  Jehovah, 
And  vowed  unto  the  Mighty  One  of  Jacoh: 

2  Surely  1  will  not  come  into  the  tabernacle  of  my  house, 
Nor  go  up  into  my  bed  ; 

3  I  wUl  not  give  sleep  to  mine  eyes, 
Or  slumber  to  mine  eyelids : 

4  Untn  I  find  out  a  place  for  Jehovah, 
A  tabernacle  for  the  Mighty  One  of  Jacob. 

5  Lo,  we  heard  of  it  in  Ephrathah : 
We  found  it  in  the  field  of  the  ivood. 

6  We  will  go  into  His  tabernacles ; 
We  ivill  ivorship  at  His  footstool. 

7  Arise,  0  Jehovah,  into  Thy  resting-place ; 
Thou,  and  the  arJc  of  Thy  strength. 

8  Let  Thy  priests  be  clothed  with  righteousness ; 
And  let  TJiy  saints  shout  for  joy. 

9  For  Thy  servant  David's  sake 
Turn  not  away  the  face  of  Thine  anointed. 

10  Jehovah  hath  sworn  unto  David  in  truth  ; 
He  wiU  not  turn  from  it : 

Of  the  fruit  of  thy  body  will  I  set  upon  thy  throne. 
n  If  thy  children  will  keep  My  covenant 

And  My  testimony  that  I  shall  teach  them, 

12  Their  children  also  shall  sit  upon  thy  throne  for  evermore. 
For  Jehovah  hath  chosen  Zion ; 

He  hath  desired  it  for  His  habitation. 

13  This  is  My  resting-place  forever  : 
Here  will  I  dwell ;  for  I  have  desired  it. 

14  I  will  abundantly  bless  her  provision  : 
I  will  satisfy  her  poor  tcith  bread. 

15  Her  priests  also  will  I  clothe  with  salvation  : 
And  her  saints  shall  shout  aloud  for  joy. 

16  There  will  I  make  the  horn  of  David  to  bud : 
/  Jiave  ordained  a  lamp  for  Mine  anointed. 

17  His  enemies  will  I  clothe  with  shame  : 
But  upon  himself  shall  his  croivn  flourish. 


18  Open  to  me  the  gates  of  righteousness : 

I  ivill  enter  into  them,  I  tvill  give  thanks  unto  Jehovah. 

19  This  is  the  gate  of  Jehovah ; 

The  righteous  shall  enter  into  it. 

20  I  will  give  thanks  unto  Thee,  for  Thou  hast  answered  me, 

And  art  become  my  salvation. 

21  The  stone  which  the  builders  rejected 

Is  become  the  head  of  the  corner. 

22  This  is  Jehovah's  doing ; 

It  is  marvelous  in  our  eyes. 

23  This  is  the  day  which  Jehovah  hath  made  ; 

We  will  rejoice  and  be  glad  in  it.

l^JJttltt     of    ^taipC  Christopher  Wordsworth,  D.  D.;  pub.  1862.     (Dox.  added.) 

See,  the  Conqueror  mounts  in  triumph  !    Jesus  reigns,  adored  by  angels  ; 


See  the  King  in  royal  state, 
Riding  on  the  clouds.  His  chariot, 

To  His  heavenly  palace  gate  ! 
Hark  !  the  choirs  of  angel  voices 

Joyful  hallelujahs  sing, 
And  the  portals  high  are  lifted 

To  receive  their  heavenly  King. 

2  Who  is  this  that  comes  in  glory. 
With  the  trump  of  jubilee  ? 

Lord  of  battles,  God  of  armies, 
He  has  gained  the  victory ; 

He,  who  on  the  cross  did  suffer, 
He,  who  from  the  grave  arose. 

He  has  vanquished  sin  and  Satan, 
He  by  death  has  spoiled  His  foes. 

3  Thou  hast  raised  our  human  nature. 
On  the  clouds  to  God's  right  hand ; 

There  we  sit  in  heavenly  places, 
There  with  Thee  in  glory  stand ; 


Man  with  God  is  on  the  throne ; 
Mighty  Lord !  in  Thine  ascension, 
We  by  faith  behold  our  own. 

4  Lift  us  up  from  earth  to  heaven, 
Give  us  wings  of  faith  and  love, 

Gales  of  holy  aspirations, 
Wafting  us  to  realms  above ; 

That,  with  hearts  and  minds  uplifted, 
We  with  Christ  our  Lord  may  dwell. 

Where  He  sits  enthroned  in  glory. 
In  the  heavenly  citadel. 

5  So  at  last,  when  He  appeareth. 

We  from  out  our  graves  may  spring, 
With  our  youth  renewed  like  eagles'. 

Flocking  round  our  heavenly  King, 
Caught  up  on  the  clouds  of  heaven, 

And  may  meet  Him  in  the  air  — 
Rise  to  realms  where  He  is  reigning, 

And  may  reign  forever  there.

The  people  that  dicell  therein  shall  be  forgiven  their  iniquity.

And  the  opening  of  my  lips  shall  be  right  things. 

7  For  my  mouth  shall  utter  truth  ; 

And  wickedness  is  an  abomination  to  my  lips.

Yea,  durable  riches  and  righteousness. 

19  My  fruit  is  better  than  gold,  yea,  than  fine  gold; 

And  my  revenue  than  choice  silver. 

20  I  walk  in  the  way  of  righteousness, 

In  the  midst  of  the  paths  of  judgment:

And  that  I  may  fill  their  treasuries.

Before  His  works  of  old. 

23  I  was  set  up  from  everlasting,  from  the  beginning. 

Before  the  earth  was. 

24  When  there  were  no  depths,  I  was  brought  forth ; 

When  there  tvere  no  fountains  abounding  with  water. 

25  Before  the  mountains  were  settled. 

Before  the  hills  was  I  h'ought  forth  : 

26  While  as  yet  He  had  not  made  the  earth,  nor  the  fields, 

Nor  the  beginning  of  the  dust  of  the  world. 

27  When  He  established  the  heavens,  I  was  there  : 

When  He  set  a  circle  upon  the  face  of  the  deep : 

28  When  He  made  firm  the  skies  above : 

Wlien  the  fountains  of  the  deep  became  strong: 

29  When  He  gave  to  the  sea  its  bound. 

That  the  waters  should  not  transgress  His  commandment:

For  there  is  none  beside  Thee : 

Neither  is  there  any  rock  like  our  God. 

4  Talk  no  more  so  exceeding  proudly ; 

Let  not  arrogancy  come  out  of  your  mouth: 

5  For  Jehovah  is  a  God  of  knowledge, 

And  by  Him  actions  are  weighed.

And  they  that  stumbled  are  girded  with  strength. 

7  They  that  were  fuU  have  hired  out  themselves  for  bread  j 

And  they  that  were  hungry  have  ceased: 

8  Jehovah  killeth,  and  maketh  alive : 

He  bringeth  down  to  the  grave,  and  bringeth  up. 

9  Jehovah  maketh  poor,  and  maketh  rich : 

He  bringeth  low,  He  also  lifteth  up. 

10  He  raiseth  up  the  poor  out  of  the  dust, 

He  lifteth  up  the  needy  from  the  dunghill, 

11  To  make  them  sit  with  princes* 

And  inherit  the  throne  of  glory : 

12  For  the  piUars  of  the  earth  are  Jehovah's, 

And  He  hath  set  the  world  upon  them. 

13  He  wiU  keep  the  feet  of  His  holy  ones, 

But  the  ivicked  shall  be  put  to  silence  in  darkness :

They  that  strive  loith  Jehovah  shall  be  broken  to  pieces  ;

OTHAT  I  knew  where  I  might  Gnd  Him, 
That  I  might  come  even  to  His  seat ! 

2  I  would  set  my  cause  in  order  before  Him, 

And  fill  my  mouth  with  arguments. 

3  I  would  know  the  words  which  He  would  answer  me, 

And  understand  what  He  ivould  say  unto  me. 
i  Behold,  I  go  forward,  but  He  is  not  there  ; 
And  backward,  hut  I  cannot  perceive  Him  : 

5  On  the  left  hand,  when  He  doth  work,  but  I  cannot  behold  Him : 

He  hideth  Himself  on  the  right  hand,  that  I  cannot  see  Him. 

6  But  He  knoweth  the  way  that  I  take  ; 

When  He  hath  tried  me,  I  shall  come  forth  as  gold. 

7  My  foot  hath  held  fast  to  His  steps  ; 

His  way  have  I  kept,  and  turned  not  aside. 

8  I  have  not  gone  back  from  the  commandment  of  His  lips : 

I  have  treasured  up  the  words  of  His  mouth  more  than  my 
necessary  food. 

9  But  He  is  in  one  mind,  and  who  can  turn  Him  ? 

And  lohat  His  soul  desireth,  even  that  He  doeth. 

10  Therefore  am  I  troubled  at  His  presence  ; 

When  I  consider,  I  am  afraid  of  Him. 

11  For  God  hath  made  my  heart  faint. 

And  the  Almighty  hath  troubled  me: 

12  Why  are  times  not  laid  up  by  the  Almighty  ? 

And  ivhy  do  not  they  which  know  Him  see  His  days  ? 

13  There  are  that  remove  the  landmarks  j 

They  violently  4ake  aicay  flocks,  and  feed  them. 

14  They  drive  away  the  ass  of  the  fatherless, 

They  take  the  widow'' s  ox  for  a  pledge. 

15  They  turn  the  needy  out  of  the  way : 

The  poor  of  the  earth  all  hide  themselves. 

16  Behold,  as  wild  asses  in  the  desert 

They  go  forth  to  their  work,  seeking  diligently  for  food  -, 
The  wilderness  yieldeth  them  food  for  their  children. 

17  They  cut  their  provender  in  the  field  ; 

And  they  glean  the  vintage  of  the  tvicked. 

18  They  lie  aU  night  naked  without  clothing, 

And  have  no  covering  in  the  cold.

And  embrace  the  rock  for  ivant  of  a  shelter. 

20  There  are  that  pluck  the  fatherless  from  the  breast, 

And  take  a  pledge  of  the  poor  : 

21  So  that  they  go  about  naked  without  clothing.

Who  hath  hardened  himself  against  Him,  and  prospered  ?

When  He  overturneth  them  in  His  anger:

And  the  pillars  thereof  tremble :

And  sealeth  tip  the  stars:

And  the  chambers  of  the  south:

Yea,  marvelous  things  without  number.

Again,  He  sendeth  them  out,  and  they  overturn  the  earth.

And  judges  maleth  He  fools.

And  bindeth  their  loins  tcith  a  girdle.

And  overthroiveth  the  mighty.

And  taketh  away  the  understanding  of  the  elders.

And  looseth  the  belt  of  the  strong.

And  bringeth  out  to  light  the  shadow  of  death.

And  hangeth  the  earth  upon  nothing,

And  the  cloud  is  not  rent  under  them.

In  the  morning  will  I  order  my  prayer  unto  Thee,  and  will  keep 
tvatch. 

4  For  Thou  art  not  a  God  that  hath  pleasure  in  wickedness : 

Evil  shall  not  sojourn  with  Hiee. 

5  The  arrogant  shall  not  stand  in  Thy  sight : 

Thou  hatest  all  tcorkers  of  iniquity. 

6  Thou  shalt  destroy  them  that  speak  hes : 

Jehovah  abhorreth  the  bloodthirsty  and  deceitfid  man. 

7  But  as  for  me,  in  the   abundance  of  Thy  lovingkindness  will 

I  come  into  Thy  house : 
In  Thy  fear  will  I  worship  toward  Thy  holy  temple. 

8  Lead  me,  O   Jehovah,  in  Thy  righteousness  because  of  mine 

enemies ; 
Make  Thy  way  straight  before  my  fa/x. 

9  For  there  is  no  faithfulness  in  their  mouth ; 

Their  inward  part  is  very  ivickedness : 

10  Their  throat  is  an  open  sepulcher  ; 

They  flatter  with  their  tongue. 

11  Hold  them  guilty,  O  God ; 

Let  them  fall  by  their  own  counsels: 

12  Thrust  them  out  in  the  multitude  of  their  transgressions ; 

For  they  have  rebelled  against  Thee. 

13  But  let  all  those  that  take  refuge  in  Thee  rejoice, 

Let  them  ever  shout  for  joy,  because  Thou  defendsst  them: 

14  Let  them  also  that  love  Thy  Name  be  joyful  in  Thee. 

For  Thou  wilt  bless  the  righteous  ; 

15  0  Jehovah,  Thou  wilt  compass  him  with  favor 

As  with  a  shield.

When  deep  sleep  falleth  on  men,

Which  made  all  my  hones  to  shake.

And  I  heard  a  voice,

Shall  a  tnan  be  more  pure  than  his  Maker  ?

And  those  who  mourn  are  exalted  to  safety.

So  that  their  hands  cannot  jyerforrn  their  enterprise.

For  His  lovingkindness  endureth  forever. 

2  Let  the  redeemed  of  Jehovah  say  so, 

Whom  He  hath  redeemed  from  the  hand  of  the  adversary; 

3  And  gathered  them  out  of  the  lands, 
From  the  east  and  from  the  west, 

From  the  north  and  from  the  south. 

4  They  wandered  in  the  wilderness  in  a  desert  way ; 

They  found  no  city  of  habitation. 

5  Hungry  and  thirsty, 

Their  soul  fainted  in  them.

6  Then  they  cried  unto  Jehovah  in  their  trouble, 

And  He  delivered  them  out  of  their  distresses. 

7  He  led  them  also  by  a  straight  way, 

That  they  might  go  to  a  dty  of  habitation. 

8  0  that  men  would  praise  Jehovah  for  His  lovingkindness, 

And  for  His  wonderful  ivories  to  the  children  of  men! 

9  For  He  satisfleth  the  longing  sotd, 

And  the  hungry  soul  He  filleth  with  good. 

10  Such  as  sat  in  darkness  and  in  the  shadow  of  death, 

Being  hound  in  affliction  and  iron  ; 

11  Because  they  rebelled  against  the  words  of  God, 

And  contemned  the  counsel  of  the  Most  High : 

12  Therefore  He  brought  down  their  heart  with  labor ; 

They  fell  down,  and  there  was  none  to  help. 

13  Then  they  cried  unto  Jehovah  in  their  trouble. 

And  He  saved  them  out  of  their  distresses. 

14  He  brought  them  out  of  darkness  and  the  shadow  of  death, 

And  brake  their  bonds  in  sunder. 

15  0  that  men  would  praise  Jehovah  for  His  goodness, 

And  for  His  wonderful  worJcs  to  the  children  of  men  ! 

16  For  He  hath  broken  the  gates  of  brass, 

And  cut  the  bars  of  iron  in  sunder. 

17  Fools  because  of  their  transgression, 

And  because  of  their  iniquities j  are  afflicted. 

18  Their  soul  abhorreth  all  manner  of  food ; 

And  they  draw  near  unto  the  gates  of  death. 

19  Then  they  cry  unto  Jehovah  in  their  trouble. 

And  He  saveth  them  out  of  their  distresses. 

20  He  sendeth  His  word,  and  healeth  them. 

And  delivereth  them  from  their  destructions. 

21  0  that  men  would  praise  Jehovah  for  His  goodness, 

And  for  His  wonderful  ivorks  to  the  children  of  men! 

22  And  let  them  offer  the  sacrifices  of  thanksgiving, 

And  declare  His  works  ivith  singing. 

23  They  that  go  down  to  the  sea  in  ships, 

That  do  business  in  great  ivaters  ; 

24  These  see  the  works  of  Jehovah, 

And  His  tconders  in  the  deep, 

25  For  He  commandeth,  and  raiseth  the  stonny  wind. 

Which  lifteth  up  the  leaves  thereof. 

26  They  mount  up  to  the  heaven,  they  go  down  again  to  the  depths : 

Their  soul  melteth  aivay  because  of  trouble. 

27  They  reel  to  and  fro,  and  stagger  like  a  drunken  man. 

And  are  at  their  wits''  end. 

28  Then  they  cry  unto  Jehovah  in  their  trouble, 

And  He  bringeth  them  out  of  their  distresses. 

29  He  maketh  the  storm  a  calm. 

So  that  the  waves  thereof  are  still.

So  He  bringeth  them  unto  their  desired  haven. 

31  0  that  men  would  praise  Jehovah  for  His  goodness, 

And  for  His  loonderful  works  to  the  children  of  men! 

32  Let  them  exalt  Him  also  in  the  assembly  of  the  people, 

And  praise  Him  in  the  seat  of  the  elders. 

33  He  tumeth  rivers  into  a  wilderness, 

And  water-springs  into  a  thirst^/  ground  ; 

34  A  fruitful  land  into  a  salt  desert. 

For  the  wickedness  of  them  that  dioell  therein. 

35  He  turneth  a  wilderness  into  a  pool  of  water, 

And  a  dry  land  into  water-sjirings. 

36  And  there  He  maketh  the  hungry  to  dwell, 

That  they  may  prepare  a  city  of  habitation  ; 

37  And  sow  fields,  and  plant  vineyards, 

And  get  them  fruits  of  increase. 

38  He  blesseth  them  also,  so  that  they  are  multiplied  greatly ; 

And  He  suffereth  not  their  cattle  to  decrease. 

39  Again,  they  are  diminished  and  bowed  down 

TJirough  oppression,  trouble,  and  sorrow. 

40  He  poureth  contempt  upon  princes. 

And  causeth  them  to  wander  in  the  ivaste,  where  there  is  no  way. 

41  Yet  setteth  He  the  needy  on  high  from  affliction, 

And  maketh  him  families  like  a  flock. 

42  The  upright  shall  see  it,  and  be  glad ; 

And  all  iniquity  shall  stop  her  mouth. 

43  Whoso  is  wise  shall  give  heed  to  these  things ; 

And  they  shall  consider  the  lovingkindnesses  of  Jehovah.

1  ET  me  sing  for  my  wellbeloved 

■L*      A  song  of  my  beloved  touching  his  vineyard. 

2  My  wellbeloved  had  a  vineyard  in  a  very  fruitful  hill : 

And  he  made  a  trench  about  it, 

3  And  gathered  out  the  stones  thereof, 

And  planted  it  ivith  the  choicest  vine, 

4  And  built  a  tower  in  the  midst  of  it, 

And  also  hewed  out  a  ivine-press  therein: 

5  And  he  looked  that  it  should  bring  forth  grapes, 

And  it  brought  forth  ivild  grapes. 

6  And  now,  0  inhabitants  of  Jerusalem  and  men  of  Judah, 

Judge,  I  pray  you,  bettvixt  me  and  my  vineyard. 

7  What  could  have  been  done  more  to  my  vineyard,  that  I  have  not 

done  in  it  1 
Wherefore,  when  I  looked  that  it  should  bring  forth  grapes,  brought 
it  forth  wild  grapes  f 

8  And  now  go  to  :  I  will  tell  you  what  I  will  do  to  my  vineyard : 
I  will  take  away  the  hedge  thereof, 

And  it  shall  be  eaten  up; 

9  I  will  break  down  the  fence  thereof. 

And  it  shall  be  trodden  doicn: 

10  And  I  will  lay  it  waste  -,  it  shall  not  be  pruned  nor  hoed ; 

But  there  shall  come  up  briers  and  thorns : 

11  I  will  also  command  the  clouds 

That  they  rain  no  rain  upon  it. 

12  For  the  vineyard  of  Jehovah  of  hosts  is  the  house  of  Israel, 

And  the  men  of  Judah  His  pleasant  plant : 

13  And  He  looked  for  justice,  but  behold  oppression  ; 

For  righteousness,  but  behold  a  cry. 

14  Woe  imto  them  that  join  house  to  house, 

That  lay  field  to  field, 

15  Till  there  be  no  room. 

And  ye  be  made  to  dwell  alone  in  the  midst  of  the  land! 

16  Woe  unto  them  that  rise  up  early  in  the  morning,  that  they  may 

f oUow  strong  drink ; 
Tliat  tarry  late  into  the  night,  till  tvine  inflame  them! 

17  And  the  harp  and  the  lute,  the  tabret  and  the  pipe,  and  wine. 

Are  in  their  feasts: 

18  But  they  regard  not  the  work  of  Jehovah, 

Neither  have  they  considered  the  operation  of  His  hands. 

19  Therefore  my  people  are  gone  into  captivity. 

For  lack  of  knoivledge : 

20  And  their  honorable  men  are  famished, 

And  their  multitude  are  parched  with  thirst. 

21  Therefore  Sheol  hath  enlarged  her  desire, 

And  opened  her  mouth  without  measure : 

22  And  their  glory,  and  their  multitude,  and  their  pomp. 

And  he  that  rejoiceth  among  them,  descend  into  it.

And  the  eyes  of  the  lofty  are  humbled: 

24  But  Jehovah  of  hosts  is  exalted  in  judgment, 

And  God  the  Holy  One  is  sanctified  in  righteousness. 

25  "Woe  unto  them  that  draw  iniquity  with  cords  of  vanity. 

And  that  draw  sin  as  it  tvere  ivith  a  cart-rope: 

26  That  say,  Let  Him  make  speed, 

Let  Him  hasten  His  work,  that  ice  may  see  it : 

27  And  let  the  counsel  of  the  Holy  One  of  Israel  draw  nigh  and  come. 

That  loe  may  knoiv  it ! 

28  Woe  unto  them  that  call  evil  good,  and  good  evil ; 
That  put  darkness  for  light,  and  light  for  darkness ; 

That  put  hitter  for  sweet,  and  sweet  for  bitter  ! 

29  Woe  unto  them  that  are  wise  in  their  own  eyes, 

And  prudent  in  their  own  sight! 

30  Woe  unto  them  that  are  mighty  to  drink  wine. 

And  men  of  strength  to  mingle  strong  drink : 

31  Who  justify  the  wicked  for  a  reward, 

And  take  away  the  righteousness  of  the  righteous  from  him  ! 

32  Therefore  as  the  tongue  of  fire  devoureth  the  stubble. 

And  as  the  dry  grass  sinketh  down  in  the  flame, 

33  So  their  root  shall  be  as  rottenness. 

And  their  blossom  shall  go  up  as  dust: 

34  Because  they  have  rejected  the  law  of  Jehovah  of  hosts, 

And  despised  the  word  of  the  Holy  One  of  Israel.

For  there  is  no  man  that  knoweth  me :

Where  the  floods  overfloiv  me.

5  They  that  would  cut  me  off,  being  mine  enemies  wrongfully,  are 

mighty : 
Tlien  I  restored  that  which  I  took  not  away. 

6  0  God,  Thou  knowest  my  foolishness ; 

And  my  sins  are  not  hid  from  Thee.

Let  not  those  that  seek  Thee  he  brought  to  dishonor  through  me,  0

Ye  that  seek  after  God,  let  your  heart  live.

And  despiseth  not  His  prisoners. 

29  Let  heaven  and  earth  praise  Him, 

The  seas,  and  every  thing  that  moveth  therein.

So  far  hath  He  removed  our  transgressions  from  us.

A  people  that  provoketh  Me  to  My  face  continually :

For  I  am  holier  than  thou. 

6  Behold,  it  is  written  before  Me  : 

I  will  not  keep  silence,  hut  will  recompense, 

7  Yea,  I  win  recompense  into  their  bosom,  your  own  iniquities, 

And  the  iniquities  of  your  fathers  together,  saith  Jehovah, 

8  And  I  will  bring  forth  a  seed  out  of  Jacob, 

And  out  of  Judah  an  inheritor  of  My  mountains: 

9  And  My  chosen  shall  inherit  it, 

And  My  servants  shall  dwell  there.

That  forget  My  holy  mountain,

And  that  fill  up  mingled  wine  unto  Destiny  ; 

12  I  will  destine  you  to  the  sword, 

And  ye  all  shall  hoio  down  to  the  slaughter : 

13  Because  when  I  called,  ye  did  not  answer ; 

When  I  spake,  ye  did  not  hear; 

14  But  ye  did  that  which  was  evil  in  Mine  eyes, 

And  chose  that  wherein  I  delighted  not. 

15  For,  behold,  I  create  new  heavens. 

And  a  new  earth: 

16  And  the  former  things  shall  not  be  remembered. 

Nor  come  into  mind. 

17  But  be  ye  glad  and  rejoice  forever  in  that  which  I  create : 

*  For,  behold,  I  create  Jerusalem  a  rejoicing,  and  her  people  a  joy. 

18  And  I  will  rejoice  in  Jerusalem, 

And  joy  in  My  people : 

19  And  the  voice  of  weeping  shall  be  no  more  heard  in  her, 

Nor  the  voice  of  crying. 

20  They  shall  not  labor  in  vain. 

Nor  bring  forth  for  calamity  ; 

21  For  they  are  the  seed  of  the  blessed  of  Jehovah, 

And  their  offspring  with  them. 

22  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  that,  before  they  call,  I  wiU answer; 

Afid  while  they  are  yet  speaking,  I  will  hear. 

23  The  wolf  and  the  lamb  shall  feed  together,  and  the  lion  shall  eat 

straw  like  the  ox : 
And  dust  shall  he  the  serpenfs  food.

And  they  that  watch  for  my  soid  take  counsel  together,

Pursue  and  take  him  ;  for  there  is  none  to  deliver.

Let  us  make  a  joyful  noise  u/nto  Him  with  psalms. 

3  For  Jehovah  is  a  great  God, 

And  a  great  King  above  all  gods. 

4  In  His  hand  are  the  deep  places  of  the  earth ; 

The  heights  of  the  mountains  are  His  also. 

5  The  sea  is  His,  and  He  made  it ;

And  we  are  the  people  of  His  pasture. 
And  the  sheep  of  His  hand.

Harden  not  your  heart,  as  at  Meribah. 

As  in  the  day  of  Massah  in  the  icilderness  : 

9  When  your  fathers  tempted  Me, 

Proved  me,  and  saw  My  work. 

10  Forty  years  long  was  I  grieved  with  that  generation, 
And  said,  It  is  a  people  that  do  err  in  their  heart, 

And  they  have  not  known  My  ways : 

11  Wherefore  I  sware  in  My  wrath, 

That  they  should  not  enter  into  My  rest. 


12  Jehovah  reigneth ;  let  the  earth  rejoice ; 

Let  the  multitude  of  isles  be  glad. 

13  Clouds  and  darkness  are  round  about  Him : 

Righteousness  and  justice  are  the  foundation  of  His  throne. 

14  A  fire  goeth  before  Him, 

And  burneth  up  His  adversaries  round  about. 

15  His  lightnings  lightened  the  world  : 

The  earth  saw,  and  trembled.

At  the  presence  of  the  Lord  of  the  whole  earth.

And  all  the  peoples  have  seen  His  glory. 

18  Put  to  shame  are  all  they  that  serve  graven  images,

And  the  daughters  ofJudah  rejoiced  ; 
Because  of  Thy  judgments,  0  Jehovah.

And  to  tread  them  down  like  the  mire  of  the  streets. 

9  Howbeit  he  meaneth  not  so, 

Neither  does  his  heart  think  so ; 

10  But  it  is  in  his  heart  to  destroy, 

And  to  cut  off  nations  not  a  few. 

11  For  he  saith.  Are  not  my  princes  all  of  them  kings  ? 

Is  not  Calno  as  Carehemish  ?  is  not  Hamath  as  Arpad  ? 
7s  not  Samaria  as  Damascus  f

Whose  graven  images  did  excel  them  of  Jerusalem  and  of  Samaria; 

13  Shall  I  not,  as  I  have  done  unto  Samaria  and  her  idols, 

So  do  to  Jerusalem  and  her  idols  f 

14  Wherefore  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that  when  the  Lord  hath  per- 

formed His  whole  work  upon  Mount  Zion 
And  on  Jerusalem, 

15  I  will  punish  the  fruit  of  the  stout  heart  of  the  king  of  Assyria, 

And  the  glory  of  his  high  looks. 

16  For  he  hath  said,  By  the  strength  of  my  hand  I  have  done  it, 

And  by  my  wisdom;  for  I  have  understanding: 

17  And  I  have  removed  the  bounds  of  the  peoples. 

And  have  robbed  their  treasures, 

18  And  I  have  brought  down  as  a  vaUant  man  them  that  sit  on 

thrones : 
And  my  hand  hath  found  as  a  nest  the  riches  of  the  peoples  ; 

19  And  as  one  gathereth  eggs  that  are  forsaken. 

Have  I  gathered  all  the  earth: 

20  And  there  was  none  that  moved  the  wing, 

Or  that  opened  the  mouth,  or  chirped. 

21  Shall  the  axe  boast  itself  against  him  that  heweth  therewith  ? 

Shall  the  saw  magnify  itself  against  him  that  wieldeth  it  ?

Even  the  remnant  of  Jacob,  unto  the  mighty  God.

Only  a  remnant  of  them  shall  return :

Overflowing  icith  righteousness.

Jehovah  of  hosts,  make 
In  the  midst  of  all  the  earth. 

33  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord,  Jehovah  of  hosts, 
0  My  people  that  dwellest  in  Zion, 

Be  not  afraid  of  the  Assyrian  : 

34  Though  he  smite  thee  with  the  rod. 

And  lift  up  his  staff  against  thee,  after  the  manner  of  Egypt. 

35  For  yet  a  very  Uttle  while,  and  the  indignation  shall  be  accom- 

plished, 
And  Mine  anger,  in  their  destruction. 

36  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in  that  day,  that  his  burden  shall  depart 

from  off  thy  shoulder, 
And  his  yoke  from  off  thy  neck, 

And   the   yoke    shall   be    destroyed   because  op  the

Thou  understandest  my  thought  afar  off. 

2  Thou  searches!  out  my  path  and  my  lying  down, 

And  art  acquainted  icith  all  my  ways.

And  surname  himself  hy  the  name  of  Israel. 

9  Thus  saith  Jehovah,  the  King  of  Israel, 

And  his  Redeemer,  Jehovah  of  hosts  : 

10  I  am  the  First,  and  I  am  the  Last ; 

And  beside  Me  there  is  no  God. 

11  They  that  fashion  a  graven  image  are  aU  of  them  vanity  ; 

And  their  delectable  things  shall  not  profit  : 

12  And  their  own  witnesses  see  not,  nor  know  ; 

That  they  may  be  put  to  shame. 

13  He  feedeth  on  ashes : 

A  deceived  heart  hath  turned  him  aside, 

14  That  he  cannot  deliver  his  soul. 

Nor  say,  Is  there  not  a  lie  in  my  right  hand  f 

15  Remember  these  things,  0  Jacob ; 

And  Israel,  for  thou  art  My  servant : 

16  I  have  foimed  thee ;  thou  art  My  servant : 

0  Israel,  thou  shalt  not  be  forgotten  of  Me. 

17  I  have  blotted  out,  as  a  thick  cloud,  thy  transgressions, 

And  as  a  cloud,  thy  sins : 

18  Return  unto  Me ; 

For  I  have  redeemed  thee. 

19  Sing,  O  ye  heavens,  for  Jehovah  hath  done  it ; 

Shout,  ye  lower  parts  of  the  earth  ; 

20  Break  forth  into  singing,  ye  mountains, 

0  forest,  and  every  tree  therein : 

21  For  Jehovah  hath  redeemed  Jacob, 

And  will  glorify  Himself  in  Israel. 

22  Thus  saith  Jehovah,  thy  Redeemer, 

And  He  that  formed  thee  from  the  womb : 

23  I  am  Jehovah,  that  maketh  all  things ; 
That  stretcheth  forth  the  heavens  alone ; 

That  spreadeth  abroad  the  earth  ;  who  is  icith  Me  ? 

24  That  f  rustrateth  the  tokens  of  the  liars. 

And  maketh  diviners  mad  ; 

25  That  turneth  wise  men  backward. 

And  maketh  their  knowledge  foolish  : 

26  That  confirmeth  the  word  of  His  servant. 

And  performeth  the  counsel  of  His  messengers  ; 

27  That  saith  of  Jerusalem,  She  shall  be  inhabited ; 

And  of  the  cities  of  Judah,  They  shall  be  built. 

And  I  WILL    RAISE   UP  THE  WASTE  PLACES  THEREOF: 

28  That  saith  to  the  deep,  Be  dry. 

And  I  will  dry  up  thy  rivers  : 

29  Even  saying  of  Jerusalem,  She  shall  be  built ; 

And  of  the  temple,  Thy  foundation  shall  be  laid.

*^HUS  saith  Jehovah,  Let  not  the  wise  man  glory  in  his  wisdom, 
Neither  let  the  mighty  man  glory  in  his  might, 
Let  not  the  rich  man  glory  in  his  riches : 

2  But  let  him  that  glorieth  glory  in  this, 
That  he  understandeth,  and  knoweth  Me, 

3  That  I  am  Jehovah  who  exercise  lovingkindness,  justice,  and 
righteousness,  in  the  earth  : 

For  in  these  things  I  delight,  saith  Jehovah. 

4  Thus  saith  Jehovah,  Learn  not  the  way  of  the  nations, 
And  be  not  dismayed  at  the  signs  of  heaven; 

5  For  the  nations  are  dismayed  at  them. 
For  the  customs  of  the  peoples  are  vanity. 

6  There  is  none  like  unto  Thee,  O  Jehovah ; 
TJwu  art  great,  and  Thy  Name  is  great  in  might. 

7  Who  would  not  fear  Thee,  0  King  of  the  nations  ? 
For  to  Tliee  doth  it  appertain : 

8  Forasmuch  as  among  all  the  wise  men  of  the  nations, 
And  in  all  their  royal  estate,  there  is  none  like  unto  Thee. 

9  But  they  are  together  brutish  and  foohsh  : 
The  instruction  of  idols,  it  is  but  a  stock. 

10  But  Jehovah  is  the  true  God  ; 

He  is  the  living  God,  and  an  everlasting  King : 
n  At  His  wrath  the  earth  trembleth. 

And  the  nations  are  not  able  to  abide  His  indignation, 

12  The  gods  that  have  not  made  the  heavens  and  the  earth, 
These  shall  perish  from  the  earth,  and  from  under  the  heavens. 

13  He  hath  made  the  earth  by  His  power. 
He  hath  established  the  icorld  by  His  wisdom. 
And  by  His  understanding  hath  He   stretched  out 

the  heavens: 

14  When  He  uttereth  His  voice,  there  is  a  tumult  of  waters  in  the 
heavens, 

And  He  causeth  the  vapors  to  ascend  from  the  ends  of  the  earth  ;

15  He  maketh  liglitnings  for  the  rain, 

And  bringeth  forth  the  wind  out  of  His  treasuries. 

16  Every  man  is  become  brutish  and  is  without  knowledge  ; 

Evert/  goldsmith  is  put  to  shame  by  his  graven  image : 

17  For  his  molten  image  is  falsehood, 

And  there  is  no  breath  in  them. 

18  They  are  vanity,  a  work  of  delusion : 

In  the  time  of  their  visitation  they  shall  perish. 

19  The  portion  of  Jacob  is  not  like  these ; 

For  He  is  the  former  of  all  things  ; 

20  And  Israel  is  the  tribe  of  His  inheritance : 

Jehovah  of  Hosts  is  His  Name. 

21  Woe  is  me  for  my  hurt !  my  wound  is  grievous : 

But  I  said,  Truly  this  is  my  grief  and  I  must  bear  it  : 

22  My  tent  is  despoiled,  and  all  my  cords  are  broken  : 

3Iy  children  are  gone  forth  of  me,  and  they  are  not. 

23  There  is  none  to  stretch  forth  my  tent  any  more, 

And  to  set  up  my  curtains. 

24  For  the  shepherds  are  become  brutish, 

And  have  not  inquired  of  Jehovah : 

25  Therefore  they  have  not  prospered, 

And  all  their  flocks  are  scattered. 

26  The  voice  of  tidings,  behold  it  cometh, 

And  a  great  commotion  out  of  the  north  country, 

27  To  make  the  cities  of  Judah  a  desolation, 

A  dwelling-place  of  jackals. 

28  0  Jehovah,  I  know  that  the  way  of  man  is  not  in  himself : 

It  is  not  in  man  that  ivalketh  to  direct  his  steps. 

29  0  Jehovah,  correct  me,  but  in  measure ; 

Not  in  Thine  anger,  lest  Thou  bring  me  to  nothing.

2  Inchne  Thine  ear  unto  me ; 

In  the  day  when  I  call,  answer  me  speedily. 

3  For  my  days  consume  away  like  smoke. 

And  my  bones  are  burned  as  a  firebrand. 

4  My  heart  is  smitten  like  grass,  and  withered  ; 

For  I  forget  to  eat  my  bread. 

5  By  reason  of  the  voice  of  my  groaning 

My  bones  cleave  to  my  flesh.

And  mingled  my  drink  with  tveeping.

For  Thou  hast  taken  me  up,  and  cast  me  away.

And  I  am  withered  like  grass. 

12  But  Thou,  Jehovah,  shalt  abide  forever ; 

And  Thy  memorial  Name  unto  all  generations.

For  it  is  time  to  have  pity  upon  her. 

Yea,  the  set  time  is  come.

And  hath  not  despised  their  prayer. 

18  This  shall  be  written  for  the  generation  to  come : 

And  a  people  which  shall  be  created  shall  praise  Jehovah. 

19  For  He  hath  looked  down  from  the  height  of  His  sanctuary  ; 

From  heaven  did  Jehovah  behold  the  earth  ; 

20  To  hear  the  sighing  of  the  prisoner ; 

To  loose  those  that  are  appointed  to  death  ; 

21  That  men  may  declare  the  Name  of  Jehovah  in  Zion,

Thy  years  are  throughout  all  generations. 

25  Of  old  hast  Thou  laid  the  foundation  of  the  earth ; 

And  the  heavens  are  the  icorkofThy  hands.

3  And  shall  say,  Our  fathers  have  inherited  nought  but  lies, 

Even  vanity  and  things  wherein  there  is  no  profit. 

4  Shall  a  man  make  unto  himself  gods, 

Which  yet  are  no  gods  ? 

5  Therefore,  behold,  I  will  cause  them  to  know, 

This  once  will  I  cause  them  to  know  Mine  hand  and  My  might; 
And  they  shall  know  that  My  Name  is  Jehovah.

And  loith  the  point  of  a  diamond :

And  upon  the  horns  of  your  altars. 

8  0  My  mountain  in  the  field, 

I  will  give  thy  substance  and  all  thy  treasures  for  a  spoil, 
And  thy  high  places,  because  of  sin,  throughout  all  thy  borders. 

9  And  thou,  even  of  thyself,  shalt  discontinue  from  thine  heritage 

that  I  gave  thee ; 
And  I  will  cause  thee  to  serve  thine  enemies  in  the  land  tvhich  thou 
Jcnowest  not :

Which  shall  burn  forever.

And  maketh  flesh  his  arm. 

And  whose  heart  departeth  from  Jehovah.

And  shall  not  see  when  good  cometh;

A  salt  land  and  not  inJuxbited. 

14  Blessed  is  the  man  that  trusteth  in  Jehovah, 

And  whose  hope  Jehovah  is. 

15  For  he  shall  be  as  a  tree  planted  by  the  waters, 

And  that  spreadeth  out  his  roots  by  the  river, 

16  And  shall  not  fear  when  heat  cometh. 

But  his  leaf  shall  he  green  ; 

17  And  shall  not  be  careful  in  the  year  of  drought. 

Neither  shall  cease  from  yielding  fruit. 

18  The  heart  is  deceitful  above  all  things. 

And  it  is  desperately  sick :  who  can  knoio  it  f 

19  I  Jehovah  search  the  heart, 

I  try  the  reins, 

20  Even  to  give  every  man  according  to  his  ways. 

According  to  the  fruit  of  Ms  doings. 

21  As  the  partridge  that  sitteth  on  eggs  which  she  hath  not  laid, 

So  is  he  that  getteth  riches,  and  not  by  right;

48.    LORD'S   DAY  FOURTH  IN  AUGUST  —  MORNING  209 

8  Do  ye  thus  requite  Jehovah, 

0  foolish  people  and  unwise  ? 

9  Remember  the  days  of  old, 

Consider  the  years  of  many  generations. 

10  Ask  thy  father,  and  he  will  show  thee  ; 

Thine  elders,  and  they  will  tell  thee. 

11  When  the  Most  High  gave  to  the  nations  their  inheritance, 

When  He  separated  the  children  of  men, 

12  He  set  the  bounds  of  the  peoples 

According  to  the  number  of  the  children  of  Israel. 

13  For  Jehovah's  portion  is  His  people  : 

Jacob  is  the  lot  of  His  inheritance. 

14  He  found  him  in  a  desert  land, 

And  in  tlie  waste  howling  icilderness ; 

15  He  compassed  him  about,  He  cared  for  him, 

He  liept  him  as  the  apple  of  His  eye: 

16  As  an  eagle  that  stirreth  up  her  nest, 

That  fluttereth  over  her  young, 

17  He  spread  abroad  His  wings,  He  took  them, 

He  bare  them  on  His  pinions : 

18  Jehovah  alone  did  lead  him. 

And  there  was  no  strange  god  with  him. 

19  He  made  him  ride  on  the  high  places  of  the  earth, 

And  he  did  eat  the  increase  of  the  field. 

20  Then  he  forsook  God  who  made  him, 

And  lightly  esteemed  the  Rock  of  his  salvation. 

21  They  moved  Him  to  jealousy  with  strange  gods, 

With  abominations  provoked  they  Him  to  anger. 

22  Of  the  Rock  that  begat  thee  thou  art  unmindful, 

And  hast  forgotten  God  that  gave  thee  birth. 

23  And  Jehovah  saw  it,  and  abhorred  them. 

Because  of  the  provocation  of  His  sons  and  His  daughters. 

24  And  He  said,  I  will  bide  My  face  from  them, 

1  will  see  ivhat  their  end  shall  be : 

25  For  they  are  a  very  perverse  generation. 

Children  in  whom  is  no  faith. 

26  They  have  moved  Me  to  jealousy  with  that  which  is  not  God; 

They  Imve  lyrovoked  Me  to  anger  with  tJieir  vanities  : 

27  And  I  will  move  them  to  jealousy  with  those  who  are  not  a  people ; 

I  ivill  provoke  tliem  to  anger  icith  a  foolish  nation. 

28  For  a  fire  is  kindled  in  Mine  anger. 

And  burnetii  unto  the  lowest  Sheol, 

29  And  devoureth  the  earth  with  her  increase. 

And  setteth  on  fire  the  foundations  of  the  mountains. 

30  For  they  are  a  nation  void  of  counsel. 

And  there  is  no  understanding  in  them. 

31  0  that  they  were  wise,  that  they  understood  this. 

That  they  tvould  consider  their  latter  end  ! 

32  How  should  one  chase  a  thousand, 

And  two  put  ten  thousand  to  flight.

In  the  land  of  Egypt,  in  the  field  of  Zoan.

To  rebel  against  the  Most  High  in  the  desert.

33  And  He  let  it  fall  in  the  midst  of  their  camp, 

Hound  about  their  habitations. 

34  So  they  did  eat,  and  were  well  filled ; 

And  He  gave  them  that  they  lusted  afte):

36  When  the  anger  of  God  went  up  against  them, 
And  slew  of  the  fattest  of  them, 

And  smote  down  the  young  men  of  Israel. 

37  For  all  this  they  sinned  still, 

And  believed  not  in  His  wondrous  worTcs. 

38  Therefore  their  days  did  He  consume  in  vanity, 

And  their  years  in  terror. 

39  When  He  slew  them,  then  they  inquired  after  Him : 

And  they  returned  and  sought  God  early. 

40  And  they  remembered  that  God  was  their  rock, 

And  the  3£ost  High  God  their  redeemer. 

41  But  they  flattered  Him  with  their  mouth, 

And  lied  unto  Him  ivith  their  tongue. 

42  For  their  heart  was  not  right  with  Him, 

Neither  loere  they  faithful  in  His  covenant. 

43  But  He,  being  merciful,  forgave  their  iniquity, 

And  destroyed  them  not: 

44  Yea,  many  a  time  turned  He  His  anger  away. 

And  did  not  stir  up  all  His  wrath. 

45  And  He  remembered  that  they  were  but  flesh ; 

A  wind  that  passeth  aivay,  and  cometh  not  again.

Jer.  xxix,  11- 14 ;    xxx,  10-24. 

KNOW  the  thoughts  that  I  think  toward  you,  saith  Jehovah, 

1  Thoughts  of  peace,  and  not  of  evil. 

To  (live  you  hope  in  your  latter  end. 

2  And  ye  shall  call  upon  Me,  and  ye  shaU  go  and  pray  unto  Me, 

And  I  will  hearken  unto  you. 

3  And  ye  shaU  seek  Me,  and  find  Me, 

When  ye  shall  search  for  Me  wUh  all  your  heart. 

4  And  I  will  be  found  of  you,  saith  Jehovah, 

And  I  will  turn  again  your  captivity, 

5  And  I  wiU  gather  you  from  all  the  nations, 

And  from  all  the  places  whither  I  have  driven  you,  saith  Jehovah; 

6  And  I  will  bring  you  again  unto  the  place 

Whence  I  caused  you  to  he  carried  away  captive. 

7  Therefore  fear  thou  not,  O  Jacob  My  servant,  saith  Jehovah ; 

Neither  be  dismayed,  0  Israel  : 

8  For,  lo,  I  will  save  thee  from  afar. 

And  thy  seed  from  the  land  of  their  captivity; 

9  And  Jacob  shaU  return,  and  shall  be  quiet  and  at  ease. 

And  none  shall  make  him  afraid. 

10  For  I  am  with  thee,  saith  Jehovah,  to  save  thee ; 

For  I  will  make  a  f uU  end  of  all  the  nations  whither  I  have  scat- 
tered thee. 
But  I  ivill  not  make  a  full  end  of  thee; 

11  But  I  will  coiTect  thee  in  measure, 

And  ivill  in  no  wise  leave  thee  unpunished. 

12  For  thus  saith  Jehovah :  Thy  hurt  is  incurable, 

And  thy  wound  grievous.  ,  ,     ,         a 

13  There  is  none  to  plead  thy  cause,  that  thou  mayest  be  bound  up : 

Thou  hast  no  healing  medicines. 

14  AU  thy  lovers  have  forgotten  thee  ; 

They  seek  thee  not : 

15  For  I  have  wounded  thee  with  the  wound  of  an  enemy, 

With  the  chastisement  of  a  cruel  one  ; 

16  For  the  greatness  of  thine  iniquity. 

Because  thy  sins  were  increased. 

17  Why  criest  thou  for  thy  hurt  ?  thy  pain  is  incurable. 

For  the  greatness  of  thine  iniquity,  ,    .r,„„ 

Because  thy  sins  were  increased,  I  have  done  these  things  unto  thee. 

18  Therefore  all  they  that  devour  thee  shall  be  devoured ; 

And  all  thine  adversaries,  every  one  of  them,  shall  go  into  captivity, 

19  And  they  that  spoil  thee  shall  be  a  spoil, 

And  all  that  prey  upon  thee  will  I  give  for  a  prey. 

20  For  I  will  restore  health  unto  thee, 

And  I  will  heal  thee  of  thy  wounds,  saith  Jehovah  ;

Jacob's  tents, 
And  have  compassion  on  his  dwelling-places ; 

23  And  the  city  shall  be  builded  upon  her  own  heap, 

And  the  palace  shall  remain  after  the  manner  thereof. 

24  And  out  of  them  shall  proceed  thanksgiving 

And  the  voice  of  them  that  make  merry  : 

25  And  I  will  multiply  them,  and  they  shall  not  be  few ; 

/  will  also  glorify  them,  and  they  shall  not  be  small. 

26  Their  children  also  shall  be  as  aforetime, 

And  their  congregation  shall  be  established  before  Me, 

27  And  I  wiU  punish  all  that  oppress  them. 
And  their  prince  shall  be  of  themselves, 

And  their  rider  shall  proceed  from  the  midst  of  them  ; 

28  And  I  will  cause  him  to  draw  near,  and  he  shall  approach  unto  Me : 

For  who  is  he  that  hath  had  boldness  to  approach  unto  Me  ?  saith 
Jehovah. 

29  And  ye  shall  be  My  people, 

Atid  I  will  be  your  God. 

30  Behold  the  tempest  of  Jehovah,  even  His  wrath,  is  gone  forth, 

A  sweeping  tempest:  it  shall  burst  upon  the  head  of  the  ivicked. 

31  The  fierce  anger  of  Jehovah  shall  not  return. 

Until  He  have  executed,

In  the  latter  days  ye  shall  understand  it.

And  my  sin  is  ever  before  me.

And  be  clear  ivhen  TJiou  judgest.

And  in  sin  did  my  mother  conceive  me.

And  in  the  hidden  part  Thou  shalt  make  me  to  knotv  wisdom.

4  That  He  may  withdraw  man  from  his  purpose, 

And  hide  pride  from  man  ; 

5  He  keepeth  back  his  soul  from  the  pit, 

And  his  life  from  perishing  hy  the  sword. 

6  He  is  chastened  also  with  pain  upon  his  bed, 

And  ivith  continual  strife  in  his  bones  : 

7  So  that  his  life  abhorreth  bread. 

And  his  soul  dainty  food. 

8  His  flesh  is  consumed  away,  that  it  cannot  be  seen  ; 

And  his  bones  that  ivere  not  seen  stick  out. 

9  Yea,  his  soul  draweth  near  unto  the  pit. 

And  his  life  to  the  destroyers. 

10  If  there  be  with  him  an  angel,  an  interpreter. 

One  among  a  thousand^  to  shoic  unto  man  what  is  right  for  Mm; 

11  Then  He  is  gracious  unto  him,  and  saith, 
Dehver  him  from  going  down  to  the  pit, 

I  have  found  a  ransom. 

12  His  flesh  shall  be  fresher  than  a  child's  j 

Hereturneth  to  the  days  of  his  youth: 

13  He  prayeth  unto  God,  and  He  is  favorable  unto  him ; 
So  that  he  seeth  His  face  with  joy  : 

And  He  restoreth  unto  man  his  righteousness. 

14  He  singeth  before  men,  and  saith,  I  have  sinned. 

And  perverted  that^which  ivas  right,  and  it  profited  me  not : 

15  He  hath  redeemed  my  soul  from  going  into  the  pit, 

And  my  life  shall  belwld  the  light. 

16  Lo,  all  these  things  doth  God  work, 

Tivice,  yea  thrice,  ivith  a  man, 

17  To  bring  back  his  soul  from  the  pit, 

That  he  may  be  enlightened  with  the  light  of  the  living. 

18  For  the  work  of  a  man  shall  He  render  unto  him, 

And  cause  every  man  to  find  according  to  His  ways. 

19  Yea,  of  a  surety,  God  will  not  do  wickedly, 

Neither  ivill  the  Almighty  pervert  judgment. 

20  If  He  set  His  heart  upon  man. 

If  He  gather  unto  Himself  his  spirit  and  his  breath  ; 

21  All  flesh  shall  perish  together. 

And  man  shall  turn  again  unto  dust. 

22  He  respecteth  not  the  persons  of  princes, 

Nor  regardeth  the  rich  more  than  the  poor ; 

23  For  they  all  are  the  work  of  His  hands. 

In  a  moment  they  die,  even  at  midnight ; 

24  The  people  are  shaken  and  pass  away. 

And  the  mighty  are  taken  away  inthout  hand. 

25  For  His  eyes  are  upon  the  ways  of  a  man, 

And  He  seeth  all  his  goings. 

26  There  is  no  darkness,  nor  shadow  of  death, 

Where  the  tvorkers  of  iniquity  may  hide  themselves.

27  For  He  needeth  not  further  to  consider  a  man, 

That  he  should  go  before  God  in  judgment. 

28  He  breaketh  in  pieces  mighty  men  in  ways  past  finding  out, 

And  setteth  others  in  their  stead. 

29  Therefore  He  taketh  knowledge  of  their  works ; 

And  He  overturneth  them  in  the  night,  so  that  they  are  destroyed. 

30  He  striketh  them  as  wicked  men 

In  the  open  sight  of  others  ; 

31  Because  they  turned  aside  from  following  Him, 

And  would  not  have  regard  to  any  of  His  ways : 

32  So  that  they  caused  the  cry  of  the  poor  to  come  unto  Him, 

And  He  heard  the  cry  of  the  afflicted. 

33  When  He  giveth  quietness,  who  then  can  condemn  ? 

And  when  He  hideth  His  face,  ivho  then  can  behold  Him  ? 

34  Alike,  whether  it  be  done  unto  a  nation,  or  unto  a  man  :• 
That  the  godless  man  reign  not, 

That  there  be  none  to  ensnare  the  people. 

35  For  hath  any  said  unto  God,  I  have  borne  chastisement, 

I  will  not  offend  any  more  :

Touch  the  mountains,  and  they  shall  smoke. 

7  Cast  forth  lightning,  and  scatter  them  ; 

Send  out  Thine  arrotvs,  and  discomfit  them.

And  deliver  me  out  of  great  loaters,

Behold,  the  Assyrian  was  a  cedar  in  Lebanon  with  fair  branches, 
And  with  a  shadowing  shroud, 

2  And  of  a  high  stature ; 
And  his  top  was  among  the  thick  boughs. 

3  The  waters  nourished  him, 
TJie  dee})  made  him  to  grow : 

4  Her  rivers  ran  round  about  her  plantation ; 
And  she  sent  out  her  channels  unto  all  the  trees  of  the  field. 

5  Therefore  his  stature  was  exalted  above  all  the  trees  of  the  field  ; 
And  his  boughs  were  multiplied, 

6  And  his  branches  became  long  by  reason  of  many  waters, 
When  he  shot  them  forth. 

7  All  the  fowls  of  heaven  made  their  nests  in  his  boughs. 
And  under  his  branches  did  all  the  beasts  of  the  field  bring  forth 

their  young. 
And  under  his  shadow  dwelt  all  great  nations. 

8  Thus  was  he  fair  in  his  greatness,  in  the  length  of  his  branches : 
For  his  root  ivas  by  many  icaters. 

9  The  cedars  in  the  garden  of  God  could  not  hide  him  : 
The  fir  trees  were  not  like  his  boughs, 

10  And  the  plane  trees  were  not  as  his  branches ; 
Nor  teas  any  tree  in  the  garden  of  God  like  unto  him  in  his  beauty. 

11  I  made  him  fair  by  the  multitude  of  his  branches : 
So  that  all  the  trees  of  Eden,  that  were  in  the  garden  of  God,  envied 

him, 

12  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  Jehovah  : 
Because  thou  art  exalted  in  stature, 

13  And  he  hath  set  his  top  among  the  thick  boughs, 
And  his  heart  is  lifted  up  in  his  height  ;

14  I  will  even  deliver  him  into  the  hand  of  the  mighty  one  of  the 

nations ; 
He  shall  sui-ely  deal  with  him : 

I  have  driven  him  out  for  his  wickedness. 

15  And  strangers,  the  terrible  of  the  nations,  have  cut  him  off, 

And  have  left  him : 

16  Upon  the  mountains  and  in  all  the  valleys  his  branches  are  fallen, 

And  his  houghs  are  broJcen  by  all  the  water-courses  of  the  land  ; 

17  And  all  the  peoples  of  the  earth  are  gone  down  from  his  shadow, 

And  have  left  him. 

18  Upon  his  ruin  all  the  fowls  of  the  heaven  shall  dwell, 

And  all  the  beasts  of  the  field  shall  be  upon  his  branches : 

19  To  the  end  that  none  of  all  the  trees  by  the  waters  exalt  them- 

selves in  their  stature, 
Neither  set  their  toi^  among  the  thick  houghs  ;

To  the  nether  parts  of  the  earth, 

21  In  the  midst  of  the  children  of  men, 

With  them  that  go  down  to  the  pit. 

22  Thus  saith  the  Lord  Jehovah  : 

In  the  day  when  he  went  down  to  Sheol  I  caused  a  mourning : 
I  covered  the  deep  for  him, 

23  And  I  restrained  the  rivers  thereof, 

And  the  great  waters  ivere  stayed : 

24  And  I  caused  Lebanon  to  mourn  for  him.

*HE  word  of  Jehovah : 
0  thou  that  dwellest  at  the  entry  of  the  sea, 

Who  art  the  merchant  of  the  peoples  unto  many  isles, 

2  Thus  saith  the  Lord  Jehovah : 
Thou,  0  Tyre,  hast  said,  I  am  perfect  in  beauty. 

Thy  borders  are  in  the  heart  of  the  seas, 

3  Thy  builders  have  perfected  thy  beauty. 
They  have  made  all  thy  planks  of  fir  trees  from  Senir: 

4  They  have  taken  cedars  from  Lebanon  to  make  a  mast  for  thee. 
Of  the  oaks  of  Bashan  have  they  made  thine  oars  ; 

5  They  have  made  thy  benches  of  ivory  inlaid  in  boxwood, 
From  the  isles  of  Kittim. 

6  Of  fine  Unen  with  broidered  work  from  Egypt  was  thy  sail, 
That  it  might  be  to  thee  for  an  ensign. 

7  All  the  ships  of  the  sea  with  their  mariners  were  in  thee  to  deal 
in  thy  merchandise, 

Persia  and  Lud  and  Put  were  in  thine  army,  thy  men  of  war: 

8  They  hanged  the  shield  and  helmet  in  thee ; 
They  set  forth  thy  comeliness. 

9  The  men  of  Arvad  with  thine  army  were  upon  thy  walls  round 
about. 

And  the  Gammadim  were  in  thy  towers: 

10  They  hanged  their  shields  upon  thy  waUs  round  about ; 
They  have  perfected  thy  beauty. 

11  Many  isles  were  the  mart  of  thy  hand  : 
They  brought  thee  in  exchange  horns  of  ivory  and  ebony. 

12  Syria  was  thy  merchant,  by  reason  of  the  multitude  of  thy  handi- 
works. 

Judah,  and  the  land  of  Israel,  they  tvere  thy  traffickers. 

13  Damascus  was  thy  merchant  for  the  multitude  of  thy  handiworks, 
By  reason  of  the  multitude  of  all  kinds  of  riches. 

14  Arabia,  and  all  the  princes  of  Kedar, 
They  were  the  merchants  of  thy  hand. 

15  The  ships  of  Tarshish  were  thy  caravans  for  thy  merchandise  : 
And  thou  wast  replenished,  and  made  very  glorious  in  the  heart  of 

[the  seas. 

16  Thy  rowers  have  brought  thee  into  great  waters : 
The  east  ivind  hath  broken  thee  in  the  heart  of  the  seas. 

17  Thy  riches,  and  thy  wares,  thy  merchandise,  thy  mariners,  and 
thy  pilots. 

And  the  dealers  in  thy  merchandise, 

18  And  aU  thy  men  of  war,  that  are  in  thee, 
With  all  thy  company  ichich  is  in  the  midst  of  thee, 

19  Shall  fall  into  the  heart  of  the  seas  in  the  day  of  thy  ruin. 
At  the  sound  of  the  cry  of  thy  pilots  the  suburbs  shall  shake. 

20  And  aU  that  handle  the  oar, 
The  mariners,  and  all  the  pilots  of  the  sea,

They  shall  stand  upon  the  land,

23  And  in  their  wailing  they  shall  take  up  a  lamentation  for  thee, 

And  lament  over  thee, 

24  Saying,  Who  is  there  like  Tyre, 

Like  her  that  is  brought  to  silence  in  the  midst  of  the  sea  f 

25  When  thy  wares  went  forth  out  of  the  seas, 

Thou  filledst  many  peop)les  ; 

26  Thou  didst  enrich  the  kings  of  the  earth 

With  the  multitude  of  thy  riches  and  of  thy  merchandise. 

27  In  the  time  that  thou  wast  broken  by  the  seas  in  the  depths  of 

the  waters, 
Thy  merchandise  and  all  thy  company  did  fall  in  the  midst  of  tliee. 

28  AH  the  inhabitants  of  the  isles  are  astonished  at  thee ; 

Tliou  art  become  a  terror,  and  thou  shall  never  be  any  more.

Like  a  tottering  fence  f

They  delight  in  lies : 

6  They  bless  with  their  mouth, 

But  they  curse  inwardly. 

7  My  soul,  wait  thou  in  silence  for  God  only; 

For  my  expectation  is  from  Him. 

8  He  only  is  my  rock  and  my  salvation : 

He  is  my  high  toiver;  I  shall  not  be  moved. 

9  With  God  is  my  salvation  and  my  glory : 

The  rock  of  my  strength,  and  my  refuge,  is  in  God. 

10  Trust  in  Him  at  all  times,  ye  people  ; 

Pour  out  your  heart  before  Him  : 
God  is  a  refuge  for  us. 

11  Surely  men  of  low  degree  are  vanity, 

And  men  of  high  degree  are  a  lie : 

12  In  the  balances  they  will  go  up ;

To  see  Thy  x>ower  and  Thy  glory. 

For  Thy  lovingkindness  is  better  than  life 

19  My  lips  shall  praise  Thee. 

So  will  I  bless  Thee  while  I  live : 

I  will  lift  up  my  hands  in  Thy  Name. 

20  My  soul  shall  be  satisfied  as  with  man-ow  and  fatness ; 

And  my  mouth  shall  praise  Thee  ivith  joyful  lips;

And  meditate  on  Thee  in  the  night  watches. 

22  For  Thou  hast  been  my  help. 

And  in  the  shadow  of  Thy  wings  will  I  rejoice. 

23  My  soul  f olloweth  hard  after  Thee : 

Thy  right  hand  upholdeth  me.

And  in  the  congregation. 

3  The  works  of  Jehovah  are  great, 
Sought  out  of  all  them  that  have  pleasure  therein. 

4  His  work  is  honor  and  majesty  : 
And  His  righteousness  endureth  forever. 

He  hath  made  His  ivonderful  toorks  to  he  rememhered  : 

5  Jehovah  is  gracious  and  merciful. 
He  hath  given  food  unto  them  that  fear  Him : 

He  will  ever  be  mindful  of  His  covenant. 

6  He  hath  showed  His  people  the  power  of  His  works, 
In  giving  them  the  heritage  of  the  nations. 

7  The  works  of  His  hands  are  truth  and  judgment ; 
A II  His  precepts  are  sure. 

8  They  are  established  for  ever  and  ever, 
They  are  done  in  truth  and  uprightness. 

9  He  hath  sent  redemption  unto  His  people ; 
He  hath  commanded  His  covenant  forever : 

Holy  a^^d  Reverend  is  His  Name, 
10  The  fear  of  Jehovah  is  the  beginning  of  wisdom ; 

A  good  understanding  have  all  they  that  do  His  commandments :

IN  my  distress  I  cried  unto  Jehovah,

And  from  a  deceitful  tongue. 

3  What  shall  be  given  unto  thee,  and  what  shaU  be  done  more  unto

Yet  they  have  not  prevailed  against  me. 

8  The  plowers  plowed  upon  my  back  ; 

They  made  long  their  furrows. 

9  Jehovah  is  righteous : 

He  hath  cut  asunder  the  cords  of  the  wicked. 

10  Let  them  be  put  to  shame  and  turned  backward, 

All  they  that  hate  Zion.

The  blessing  of  Jehovah  be  upon  you  ; 

We  bless  you  in  the  Name  of  Jehovah. 


14  Out  of  the  depths  have  I  cried  unto  Thee,  0  Jehovah. 

Lord,  hear  my  voice. 

15  Let  Thine  ears  be  attentive 

To  the  voice  of  my  supplications. 

16  If  Thou,  Jehovah,  shouldest  mark  iniquities, 

0  Lord,  who  shall  stand  ? 

17  But  there  is  forgiveness  with  Thee, 

That  Thou  mayest  be  feared. 

18  I  wait  for  Jehovah,  my  soul  doth  wait, 

And  in  His  word  do  I  hope.

RIGHTEOUS  art  Thou,  Jehovah, 
And  upright  are  Thy  judgments. 

2  Thou  hast  commanded  Thy  testimonies  in  righteousness 

And  very  faithfulness. 

3  My  zeal  hath  consumed  me. 

Because  mine  adversaries  have  forgotten  Thy  words. 

4  Thy  word  is  very  pure  ; 

Therefore  Thy  servant  loveth  it. 

5  I  am  smaU  and  despised : 

Yet  do  not  I  forget  Thy  precepts. 

6  Thy  righteousness  is  an  everlasting  righteousness, 

And  Thy  laiv  is  truth. 

7  Trouble  and  anguish  have  taken  hold  on  me : 

Yet  Thy  commandments  are  my  delight. 

8  Thy  testimonies  are  righteous  forever : 

Give  me  understanding,  and  I  shall  live. 

9  I  have  called  with  my  whole  heart ;  answer  me,  0  Jehovah : 

I  will  keep  Thy  statutes. 

10  I  have  called  unto  Thee ;  save  me. 

And  I  shall  observe  Thy  testimonies. 

11  I  anticipated  the  dawning  of  the  morning,  and  cried : 

I  hoped  in  Thy  ivords. 

12  Mine  eyes  anticipated  the  night  watches, 

That  I  might  meditate  in  Thy  zvord, 

13  Hear  my  voice  according  unto  Thy  lovingkindness : 

Quicken  me,  0  Jehovah,  according  to  Thy  judgments. 

14  They  draw  nigh  that  follow  after  wickedness ; 

They  are  far  from  Thy  laiv. 

15  Thou  art  nigh,  0  Jehovah  ; 

And  all  Thy  commandments  are  truth. 

16  Of  old  have  I  known  from  Thy  testimonies, 

That  Thou  hast  founded  them  forever. 

17  Consider  mine  affliction,  and  deliver  me ; 

For  I  do  not  forget  Thy  law. 

18  Plead  Thou  my  cause,  and  redeem  me : 

Quicken  me  according  to  Thy  ivord. 

19  Salvation  is  far  from  the  wicked ; 

For  they  seek  not  Thy  statutes. 

20  Great  are  Thy  tender  mercies,  0  Jehovah : 

Quicken  me  according  to  Thy  judgments. 

21  Many  are  my  persecutors  and  mine  adversaries ; 

Yet  have  I  not  siverved  from  Thy  testimonies. 

22  I  beheld  the  treacherous,  and  was  grieved ; 

Because  they  observe  not  Tliy  word. 

23  Consider  how  I  love  Thy  precepts : 

Quicken  me,  0  Jehovah,  according  to  Thy  lovingkindness. 

24  The  sum  of  Thy  word  is  truth ; 

And  every  one  of  Thy  righteous  judgments  endureth  forever.

But  my  heart  standeth  in  awe  of  Thy  words.

As  one  that  findeth  great  spoil. 

27  I  hate  and  abhor  falsehood ; 

But  Thy  law  do  I  love. 

28  Seven  times  a  day  do  I  praise  Thee, 

Because  of  Thy  righteous  judgments. 

29  Great  peace  have  they  who  love  Thy  law ; 

And  they  have  none  occasion  of  stumbling. 

30  I  have  hoped  for  Thy  salvation,  0  Jehovah, 

And  have  done  Thy  commandments. 

31  My  soul  hath  observed  Thy  testimonies  ; 

And  I  love  them  exceedingly. 

32  I  have  observed  Thy  precepts  and  Thy  testimonies ; 

For  all  my  ivays  are  before  Thee. 

33  Let  my  cry  come  near  before  Thee,  0  Jehovah : 

Give  me  understanding  according  to  Thy  word. 

34  Let  my  supplication  come  before  Thee : 

Deliver  me  according  to  Thy  ivord. 

35  Let  my  lips  utter  praise  ; 

For  Thou  teachest  me  Thy  statutes. 

36  Let  my  tongue  sing  of  Thy  word  ; 

For  all  Thy  commandments  are  righteousness. 

37  Let  Thy  hand  be  ready  to  help  me  ; 

For  I  have  chosen  Thy  precepts. 

38  I  have  longed  for  Thy  salvation,  0  Jehovah  ; 

And  Thy  laic  is  my  delight. 

39  Let  my  soul  live,  and  it  shall  praise  Thee  ; 

And  let  Thy  judgments  help  me.

AN  that  is  born  of  a  woman 
Is  of  few  days,  and  full  of  trouble. 

2  He  cometb.  forth  like  a  flower,  and  is  cut  down : 
Hefleeth  also  as  a  shadow,  and  continueth  not, 

3  And  dost  Thou  open  Thine  eyes  upon  such  an  one, 
Aiid  bringest  me  into  judgment  loith  Thee  f  , 

4  Who  can  bring  a  clean  thing  out  of  an  unclean  % 
Not  one. 

5  Seeing  his  days  are  determined, 
The  number  of  his  months  is  with  Thee, 

6  And  Thou  hast  appointed  his  bounds 
That  he  cannot  imss  ; 

7  Look  away  from  him,  that  he  may  rest. 
Till  he  shall  accomplish,  as  a  hireling,  his  day. 

8  For  there  is  hope  of  a  tree,  if  it  be  cut  down,  that  it  will  sprout 
again. 

And  that  the  tender  branch  thereof  will  not  cease. 

9  Though  the  root  thereof  wax  old  in  the  earth. 
And  the  stock  thereof  die  in  the  ground  ; 

10  Yet  through  the  scent  of  water  it  will  bud, 
And  put  forth  boughs  like  a  plant. 

11  But  man  dieth,  and  is  laid  low : 
Yea,  man  giveth  up  the  ghost,  and  ivhere  is  he  ? 

12  As  the  waters  fad  from  the  sea. 
And  the  river  wasteth  and  drieth  up  ;

And  remember  me!

All  the  days  of  my  tvarfare  would  I  ivait, 
Till  my  release  should  come.

Thou  tvouldest  have  a  desire  to  the  tuork  of  Thy  hands.

Dost  Thou  not  watch  over  my  sin  ? 

19  My  transgression  is  sealed  up  in  a  bag. 
And  Thou  fastenest  up  mine  iniquity. 

20  And  surely  the  mountain  falling  cometh  to  nought, 
And  the  rock  is  removed  out  of  its  place;

3  They  remembered  not  His  hand, 

Nor  the  day  when  He  redeemed  tliem  from  the  adversary. 

4  How  He  set  His  signs  in  Egypt, 

And  His  wonders  in  the  field  of  Zoan: 

5  And  turned  their  rivers  into  blood, 

And  their  streams,  that  they  could  not  drink. 

6  He  sent  among  them  swarms  of  flies,  which  devoured  them ; 

And  frogs,  which  destroyed  them. 

7  He  gave  also  their  increase  unto  the  caterpillar, 

And  their  labor  unto  the  locust. 

8  He  destroyed  their  vines  with  hail. 

And  their  sycamore  trees  tvith  frost. 

9  He  gave  over  their  cattle  also  to  the  hail. 

And  their  flocks  to  hot  thunderbolts. 

10  He  cast  upon  them  the  fierceness  of  His  anger, 
Wrath,  and  indignation,  and  trouble, 

A  band  of  angels  of  evil. 

11  He  made  a  path  for  His  anger ; 

He  spared  not  their  soul  from  death. 

But  gave  their  life  over  to  the  pestilence  ; 

12  And  smote  all  the  firstborn  in  Egypt, 

The  chief  of  their  strength  in  the  tents  of  Ham: 

13  But  He  led  forth  His  own  people  Uke  sheep. 

And  guided  them  in  the  ivilderness  like  a  flock. 

14  And  He  led  them  safely,  so  that  they  feared  not: 

But  the  sea  overwhelmed  their  enemies. 

15  And  He  brought  them  to  the  border  of  His  sanctuary, 

To  this  mountain,  which  His  right  hand  Jmd  purchased. 

16  He  drove  out  the  nations  also  before  them. 
And  allotted  them  for  an  inheritance  by  Hne, 

And  made  the  tribes  of  Israel  to  divell  in  their  tents. 

17  Yet  they  tempted  and  rebelled  against  the  Most  High  God, 

And  kept  not  His  testimonies  ; 

18  But  turned  back,  and  dealt  treacherously  like  their  fathers : 

They  were  turned  aside  like  a  deceitful  bow. 

19  For  they  provoked  Him  to  anger  with  their  high  places, 

And  moved  Him  to  jealousy  tvith  their  graven  images. 

20  When  God  heard  this.  He  was  wroth, 

And  greatly  abhorred  Israel : 

21  So  that  He  forsook  the  tabernacle  of  Shiloh, 

The  tent  which  He  placed  among  men; 

22  And  delivered  his  strength  into  captivity, 

And  his  glory  into  the  adversary'' s  hand. 

23  He  gave  His  people  over  also  unto  the  sword ; 

And  ivas  wroth  with  His  inheritance. 

24  Fire  devoured  their  young  men ; 

And  their  maidens  had  no  marriage-song.

And  their  widows  made  no  lamentation.

LET  God  arise, 
Let  His  enemies  be  scattered  ; 

2  Let  them  also  that  hate  Him  flee  before  Him. 

As  smoke  is  driven  away,  so  drive  them  away : 

3  As  wax  melteth  before  the  fire, 

So  let  the  wicked  perish  at  the  presence  of  God. 

4  But  let  the  righteous  be  glad ;  let  them  exult  before  Grod : 

Yea,  let  them  rejoice  tvith  gladness. 

5  Sing  vmto  God, 

Sing  praises  to  His  Name : 

6  Cast  up  a  highway  for  Him  that  rideth  through  the  deserts ; 

His  Name  is  Jehovah  ;  and  exult  ye  before  Him. 

7  A  father  of  the  fatherless,  and  a  judge  of  the  widows. 
Is  God  in  His  holy  habitation. 

God  setteth  the  solitary  in  families  ; 

8  He  bringeth  out  the  prisoners  into  prosperity : 

But  the  rebellious  dwell  in  a  parched  land. 

9  0  God,  when  Thou  wentest  forth  before  Thy  people. 

When  Tliou  didst  march  through  the  tvilderness ; 

10  The  earth  trembled. 

The  heavens  also  dropped  at  the  presence  of  God : 

11  That  Sinai  trembled  at  the  presence  of  God, 

The  God  of  Israel. 

12  Thou,  0  God,  didst  send  a  plentiful  rain, 

Tliou  didst  confirm  TJiine  inheritance,  rvhen  it  was  weary. 

13  Thy  congregation  dwelt  therein : 

Thou,  0  God,  didst  prepare  of  Thy  goodness  for  the  poor, 

14  The  Lord  giveth  the  word : 

The  women  that  publish  the  tidings  are  a  great  host. 

15  Kings  of  armies  flee,  they  flee : 

And  she  that  tarrieth  at  home  divideth  the  spoil. 

16  When  the  Almighty  scattered  kings  therein, 

It  was  as  when  it  snoioeth  in  Zalmon. 

17  A  mountain  of  God  is  the  mountain  of  Bashan ; 

A  high  mountain  is  the  mountain  of  Bashan. 

18  Why  look  ye  askance,  ye  high  mountains, 

At  the  mountain  which  God  hath  desired  for  His  abode  ? 
Yea,  Jehovah  will  dwell  in  it  forever. 

19  Thou  hast  ascended  on  high, 

Thou  hast  led  away  captives; 

20  Thou  hast  received  gifts  among  men. 
Yea,  among  the  rebellious  also. 

That  Jehovah  God  might  dwell  with  them. 

21  Blessed  be  the  Lord,  who  daily  beareth  our  burden, 

Even  the  God  loho  is  our  salvation. 

22  God  is  unto  us  a  God  of  deliverances ; 

And  unto  Jehovah  the  Lord  belongeth  escape  from  death.

27  Princes  shall  come  out  of  Egypt ; 

Ethiopia  shall  haste  to  stretch  out  her  hands  unto  God.

Whose  right  hand  I  have  holden,  to  subdue  nations  before  him. 
And  I  icill  loose  the  loins  of  kings; 

2  To  open  the  doors  before  him, 

•  And  the  gates  shall  not  he  shut; 

3  I  will  go  before  thee, 

And  make  the  rugged  places  plain  : 

4  I  will  break  in  pieces  the  doors  of  brass. 

And  cut  in  sunder  the  bars  of  iron : 


264  62.  lord's  day  third  in  November — evening 

5  And  I  will  give  thee  the  treasures  of  darkness, 

And  hidden  riches  of  secret  places, 

6  That  thou  mayest  know  that  it  is  I  Jehovah  who  call  thee  by  thy 

name, 
Even  the  God  of  Israel. 

7  For  Jacob  My  servant's  sake, 

And  Israel  My  chosen, 

8  I  have  called  thee  by  thy  name  : 

I  have  surnamed  thee,  though  thou  hast  not  Tcnoivn  Me. 

9  I  am  Jehovah,  and  there  is  none  else ; 

Beside  Me  there  is  no  God  : 

10  I  wiU  gird  thee,  though  thou  hast  not  known  Me  : 

That  they  may  know  from  the  rising  of  the  sun,  and  from  the 
west. 
That  there  is  none  beside  Me : 

11  I  am  Jehovah,  and  there  is  none  else. 

I  form  the  light,  and  create  darkness; 

12  I  make  peace,  and  create  evil ; 

I  am  Jehovah,  that  doeth  all  these  things. 

13  Drop  down,  ye  heavens,  from  above, 

And  let  the  skies  pour  down  righteousness  : 

14  Let  the  earth  open. 

That  they  may  bring  forth  salvation, 

15  And  let  her  cause  righteousness  to  spring  up  together ; 

I  Jehovah  have  created  it. 

16  Woe  unto  him  that  striveth  with  his  Maker ! 

A  potsherd  among  the  potsherds  of  the  earth! 

17  Shall  the  clay  say  to  him  that  fashioneth  it,  What  makest  thou  ? 

Or  thy  icork.  He  hath  no  hands  ? 

18  I  have  made  the  earth. 

And  created  man  upon  it : 

19  I,  even  My  hands,  have  stretched  out  the  heavens, 

And  all  their  host  have  I  commanded. 

20  I  have  raised  him  up  in  righteousness, 

And  I  will  make  straight  all  his  ivays : 

21  He  shall  build  My  city,  and  he  shall  let  My  exiles  go  free, 

Not  for  price  nor  reward,  saith  Jehovah  of  hosts. 

22  VerUy  Thou  art  a  God  that  hidest  Thyself, 

0  God  of  Israel,  the  savior. 

23  They  shall  be  put  to  shame,  yea,  confounded  all  of  them : 

They  shall  go  into  confusion  together  that  are  makers  of  idols. 

24  But  Israel  shall  be  saved  by  Jehovah  with  an  everlasting  salva- 

tion: 
Ye  shall  not  be  put  to  shame  nor  confounded  world  without  end, 

25  For  thus  saith  Jehovah  that  created  the  heavens ; 

He  is  God;  that  formed  the  earth  and  made  it; 

26  He  estabhshed  it.  He  created  it  not  a  waste, 

He  formed  it  to  be  inhabited: 


62.    lord's  day   third   in   NOVEMBER — EVENING  265 

27  I  am  Jehovah ;  and  there  is  none  else. 
I  have  not  spoken  in  secret, 

In  a  place  of  the  land  of  darkness  ; 

28  I  said  not  unto  the  seed  of  Jacob,  Seek  ye  Me  in  vain : 
I  Jehovah  speak  righteousness, 

I  declare  things  that  are  right. 

29  Assemble  yourselves  and  come ; 

Draw  near  together,  ye  that  are  escaped  of  the  nations. 

30  There  is  no  God  else  beside  Me ; 

A  just  God  and  a  savior;  there  is  none  beside  Me. 

31  Look  unto  Me,  and  be  ye  saved,  all  the  ends  of  the  earth  : 

For  I  am  God,  and  there  is  none  else. 

32  By  Myself  have  I  sworn. 

The  word  is  gone  forth  from  My  mouth  in  righteousness, 
And  shall  not  return, 

33  That  unto  Me  every  knee  shall  bow, 

Every  tongue  shall  sivear. 

34  Only  Lu  Jehovah,  shall  one  say,  have  I  righteousness  and  strength  : 

Even  to  Him  shall  men  come. 

35  In  Jehovah  shall  all  the  seed  of  Israel  be  justified.

iHC^jpOn^ite   %t^^m\  From  Isaiah,  viii:     xxix,  13-24. 

MAKE  an  uproar,  0  ye  peoples,  and  ye  shall  be  broken  in  pieces  5 
And  give  ear,  all  ye  of  far  countries : 

2  Gird  yourselves,  and  ye  shall  be  broken  in  pieces ; 

Gird  yourselves,  and  ye  shall  be  broken  in  pieces. 

3  Take  counsel  together,  and  it  shall  be  brought  to  nought ; 

Speak  the  zvord,  and  it  shall  not  stand  : 
For  God  is  with  us. 

4  For  Jehovah  spake  thus  to  me  with  a  strong  hand, 

And  instructed  me  that  I  shoidd  not  walk  in  the  ivay  of  this  people, 

5  Saying  —  Say  ye  not,  A  conspu"acy,  concerning  all  whereof  this 

people  shall  say,  A  conspiracy  j 
Neither  fear  ye  their  fear, 
Nor  be  in  dread  thereof. 

6  Jehovah  of  hosts,  Him  shall  ye  sanctify ;  and  let  Him  be  your  fear. 

And  let  Him  be  your  dread. 

7  And  He  shall  be  for  a  sanctuary ;  but  for  a  stone  of  stumbling 

And  for  a  rock  of  offense 

8  To  both  the  houses  of  Israel, 

For  a  gin  and  for  a  snare  to  the  inhabitants  of  Jerusalem. 

9  And  many  shall  stumble  thereon,  and  fall. 

And  he  broken,  and  he  snared,  and  be  taken. 

10  Bind  thou  up  the  testimony, 

Seal  the  laio  among  my  disciples. 

11  And  I  will  wait  for  Jehovah,  that  hideth  His  face  from  the  house 

of  Jacob, 
And  I  will  look  for  Him. 

12  And  when  they  shall  say  unto  you,  Seek  unto  them  that  have 

familiar  spirits 
And  unto  the  tvizards,  that  chirp  and  that  mutter : 

13  Should  not  a  people  seek  unto  their  God  ? 

On  behalf  of  the  living  should  they  seek  unto  the  dead  ? 

14  To  the  law  and  to  the  testimony  ! 

If  they  speak  not  according  to  this  word. 
Surely  there  is  no  morning  for  them. 


15  And  the  Lord  said.  Forasmuch  as  this  people  draw  nigh  unto  Me, 

And  ivith  their  mouth  and  with  their  lips  do  honor  Me, 

16  But  have  removed  their  heart  far  from  Me, 

And  their  fear  of  Me  is  a  commandment  of  men  which  hath  been 
taught  them: 

17  Therefore,  behold,  I  will  proceed  to  do  a  marvelous  work  among 

this  people, 
Even  a  marvelous  work  and  a  wonder: 

18  And  the  wisdom  of  their  wise  men  shaU  perish. 

And  the  understanding  of  their  prudent  men  shall  be  hid. 

19  Woe  unto  them  that  seek  deep  to  hide  their  counsel  from  Jehovah, 

And  their  works  are  in  the  dark,

20  And  they  say,  Who  seeth  us  1 

And  ivho  knoweth  us  f 

21  Ye  turn  things  upside  down !   Shall  the  potter  be  counted  as  clay ; 
That  the  thing  made  should  say  of  him  that  made  it,  He  made  me 

not; 
Or  the  thing  formed  say  of  him  that  formed  it,  He  hath  no  under- 
standing ? 

22  Is  it  not  yet  a  very  Uttle  while,  and  Lebanon  shall  be  turned  into 

a  fruitful  field, 
And  the  fruitful  field  shall  he  counted  for  a  forest  f 

23  And  in  that  day  shall  the  deaf  hear  the  words  of  the  book, 

And  the  eyes  of  the  blind  shall  see  out  of  obscurity  and  out  of  dark- 
ness. 

24  The  meek  also  shall  increase  their  joy  in  Jehovah, 

And  the  poor  among  men  shall  rejoice  in  the  Holy  One  of  Israel. 

25  For  the  terrible  one  is  brought  to  nought. 

And  the  scorner  ceaseth, 

26  And  all  they  that  watch  for  iniquity  are  cut  off : 

That  make  a  man  an  offender  in  a  cause, 

27  And  lay  a  snare  for  him  that  reproveth  in  the  gate, 

And  turn  aside  the  just  with  a  thing  of  nought. 

28  Therefore  thus  saith  Jehovah,  who  redeemed  Abraham, 

Concerning  the  house  of  Jacob : 

29  Jacob  shall  not  now  be  ashamed, 

Neither  shall  his  face  now  wax  pale. 

30  But  when  he  seeth  his  children,  the  work  of  My  hands,  in  the 

midst  of  him. 
They  shall  sanctify  My  Name; 

31  Yea,  they  shall  sanctify  the  Holy  One  of  Jacob, 

And  shall  stand  in  awe  of  the  God  of  Israel. 

32  They  also  that  err  in  spirit  shall  come  to  understanding, 

And  they  that  murmur  shall  receive  instruction.

~  [Same  for  Day  No.  34,  Ev'g] 

PRAISE  ye  Jehovah ; 
For  it  is  good  to  sing  praises  unto  our  God ; 
For  it  is  pleasant,  and  praise  is  comely. 

2  Jehovah  doth  build  up  Jerusalem  ; 

He  gathereth  together  the  outcasts  of  Israel. 

3  He  healeth  the  broken  in  heart, 

And  hindeth  up  their  wounds. 

4  He  counteth  the  number  of  the  stars ; 

He  giveth  them  all  their  names. 

5  Great  is  our  Lord,  and  mighty  in  power ; 

His  understanding  is  infinite. 

6  Jehovah  upholdeth  the  meek : 

He  hringeth  the  nicked  down  to  the  ground. 

7  Sing  unto  Jehovah  with  thanksgiving ; 

Sing  praises  upon  the  harp  unto  our  God  : 

8  Who  covereth  the  heaven  with  clouds, 
Who  prepareth  rain  for  the  earth. 

Who  maketh  grass  to  groiv  upon  the  mountains. 

9  He  giveth  to  the  beast  his  food. 

And  to  the  young  ravens  ichich  cry. 

10  He  deUghteth  not  in  the  strength  of  the  horse : 

He  taketh  no  pleasure  in  the  legs  of  a  man. 

11  Jehovah  taketh  pleasure  in  them  that  fear  Him, 

In  those  that  hope  in  His  lovingkindness. 

12  Praise  Jehovah,  O  Jerusalem ; 

Praise  thy  God,  0  Zion. 

13  For  He  hath  strengthened  the  bars  of  thy  gates; 

He  hath  blessed  thy  children  within  thee. 

14  He  maketh  peace  in  thy  borders  ; 

He  filleth  thee  with  the  finest  of  the  wheat. 

15  He  sendeth  out  His  commandment  upon  earth ; 

His  word  runneth  very  siciftly. 

16  He  giveth  snow  Uke  wool ; 

He  scattereth  the  hoarfrost  like  ashes. 

17  He  casteth  forth  His  ice  hke  morsels : 

Who  can  stand  before  His  cold  f 

18  He  sendeth  out  His  word,  and  melteth  them  : 

He  causeth  His  icind  to  blow,  and  the  waters  flow.

21  Praise  waiteth  for  Thee,  0  God,  in  Zion. 

Thou  makest  the  outgoings  of  the  morning  and  evening  to  rejoice.

Thou  greatly  enrichest  it;  the  river  of  God  is  full  of  water :

Thou  waterest  her  furrows  abundantly; 

24  Thou  settlest  the  ridges  thereof ; 

Thou  makes t  it  soft  with  showers; 

25  Thou  blessest  the  springing  thereof: 

Thou  crownest  the  year  with  Thy  goodness : 

26  And  Thy  paths  drop  fatness ; 

They  drop  upon  the  pastures  of  the  wilderness : 

27  And  the  hills  are  girded  with  joy ; 

The  pastures  are  clothed  with  flocks  ; 

28  The  valleys  also  are  covered  over  with  grain ; 

They  shout  for  joy ,  they  also  sing. 

Praise  waiteth  for  Thee,  0  God,  in  Zion.

WE  have  heard  with  our  ears,  0  God,   our 
told  us, 
What  work  Thou  didst  in  their  days,  |  in  the  ]  days  of  |  old. 

2  Thou  didst  drive  out  the  nations  with  Thy  hand,  but  |  them  *  Thou 

didst  I  plant; 
Thou  didst  afflict  the  peoples,  but  |  them  •  Thou  didst  |  spread 
a-  I  broad. 

3  For  they  gat  not  the  land  in  possession  |  by  *  their  own  |  sword. 

Neither  did  |  their  own  |  arm  |  save  them: 

4  But  Thy  right  hand  and  Thine  arm  and  the  |  light '  of  Thy  | 

countenance, 
Because  Thou  hadst  a  |  fa-vor  |  un-to  |  them. 

5  We  wUl  not  trust  in  our  bow, 
Neither  shall  |  our  sword  |  save  us. 

But  Thou  hast  sav'd  us  from  our  adversaries, 
And  hast  put  |  them  to  |  shame  that  |  hate  us. 

6  In  God  have  we  made  our  boast  |  aU  the  •  day  i  long. 

And  we  wiU  give  thanks  |  unto  Thy  |  Name  for  |  ever. 

7  Blessed  be  Thou  Jehovah,    the  God  of  our  fathers,  for  |  ever 

and  I  ever. 
Thine,  0  Jehovah,  is  the  greatness  and  the  power, 
And  the  glory  and  the  |  vieto-ry  |  and  the  |  majesty : 

8  For  all  that  is  in  the  heaven  and  in  the  |  earth  is  |  Thine : 

Thine  is  the  Kingdom,  0  Jehovah, 

And  Thou  art  ex-  I  alted  as  I  Head  a-bove  |  all.

And  pay  thy  votes  unto  the  Most  High: 

16  And  call  upon  Me  in  the  day  of  trouble ; 

I  mil  deliver  thee,  and  thou  shalt  glorify  Me. 

17  But  unto  the  wicked  God  saith, 

What  hast  thou  to  do  to  declare  My  statutes, 

And  that  thou  hast  taken  My  covenant  in  thy  mouth  f 

18  Seeing  thou  hatest  instruction, 

And  easiest  My  words  behind  thee. 

19  When  thou  sawest  a  thief,  thou  consentedst  with  him, 

And  hast  been  partaker  with  adulterers. 

20  Thou  givest  thy  mouth  to  evil, 

And  thy  tongue  frameth  deceit. 

21  Thou  sittest  and  speakest  against  thy  brother ; 

Thou  slanderest  thine  oiin  mother'' s  son. 

22  These  things  hast  thou  done,  and  I  kept  silence ; 

Thou  thoughtest  that  I  teas  altogether  such  a  one  as  thyself: 

23  But  I  will  reprove  thee. 

And  set  them  in  order  before  thine  eyes. 

24  Now  consider  this,  ye  that  forget  God,  lest  I  tear  you  in  pieces. 

And  there  be  none  to  deliver : 

25  Whoso  offereth  the  sacrifice  of  thanksgiving  glorifieth  Me  ; 

And  to  him  that  ordereth  his  icay  aright  ivill  I  show  the  salvation 
of  God.

Christ  is  coming !  let  creation 
Bid  her  groans  and  travail  cease : 

Let  the  glorious  proclamation 
Hope  restore  and  faith  increase ; 

Christ  is  coming ! 
Come,  Thou  blessed  Prince  of  peace ! 

2  Earth  can  now  but  teU  the  story 
Of  Thy  bitter  cross  and  pain ; 

She  shall  yet  behold  Thy  glory- 
When  Thou  comest  back  to  reign ; 

Christ  is  coming ! 
Let  each  heart  repeat  the  strain.

3  Long  Thine  exiles  have  been  pining, 
Far  from  rest  and  home  and  Thee : 

But,  in  heavenly  vesture  shining, 
Soon  they  shall  Thy  glory  see ; 

Christ  is  coming ! 
Haste  the  joyous  jubilee. 

4  With  that  "  blessed  hope  "  before  us, 
Let  no  harp  remain  unstrung ; 

Let  the  mighty  advent  chorus 
Onward  roll  from  tongue  to  tongue ; 

Christ  is  coming ! 
Come,  Lord  Jesus,  quickly  come.

3  A  day  of  darkness  and  gloominess, 

A  day  of  clouds  and  thick  darkness,  as  the  dawn  spread  upon  the 
mountains; 

4  A  great  people  and  a  strong, 

There  hath  not  been  ever  the  like, 

5  Neither  shall  be  any  more  after  them, 

Even  to  the  years  of  many  generations. 

6  A  fire  devonreth  before  them ; 

And  behind  them  a  flame  burneth : 

7  The  land  is  as  the  garden  of  Eden  before  them,  and  behind  them 

a  desolate  wUderness ; 
Yea,  and  none  hath  escaped  them. 

8  The  earth  quaketh  before  them ; 

The  heavens  tremble : 

9  The  sun  and  the  moon  are  darkened, 

And  the  stars  withdraiv  their  shining : 

10  And  Jehovah  uttereth  His  voice  before  His  army ;  for  His  camp 

is  very  great ; 
For  He  is  strong  that  executeth  His  word: 

11  For  the  day  of  Jehovah  is  great  and  very  terrible ; 

And  who  can  abide  it  ? 

12  Yet  even  now,  saith  Jehovah,  turn  ye  unto  Me  with  all  your 

heart, 
And  tvith  fasting,  and  with  weeping,  and  with  mourning  : 

13  And  rend  youi*  heart,  and  not  your  garments,  and  turn  unto 

Jehovah  your  God : 
For  He  is  gracious  and  mercifid, 

14  Slow  to  anger,  and  abundant  in  lovingkindness, 

And  repenteth  Him  of  the  evil. 

15  For,  behold,  in  those  days,  and  in  that  time, 

When  I  shall  bring  again  the  captivity  of  Judah  and  Jerusalem, 

16  I  wiU  gather  all  nations. 

And  will  bring  them  down  into  the  valley  of  Jehoshaphat; 

17  And  I  will  execute  judgment  upon  them  there  for  My  people 

And  for  3Iy  heritage  Israel, 

18  Whom  they  have  scattered  among  the  nations, 

And  parted  My  land. 

19  Proclaim  ye  this  among  the  nations ; 
Prepare  war ;   stir  up  the  mighty  men ; 

Let  all  the  men  of  war  draw  near,  let  them  come  up. 

20  Beat  your  plowshares  into  swords,  and  your  pruning-hooks  into 

spears : 
Let  the  iveak  say,  I  am  strong. 

21  Haste  ye,  and  come,  aU  ye  nations  round  about, 
And  gather  yourselves  together : 

Thither  cause  Tliy  mighty  ones  to  come  down,  0  Jehovah. 

22  Let  the  nations  bestir  themselves,  and  come  up  to  the  valley  of 

Jehoshaphat : 
For  there  mil  I  sit  to  judge  all  the  nations  round  about.

23  Put  ye  in  the  sickle,  for  the  harvest  is  ripe : 

Come,  tread  ye;  for  the  tcine-press  is  full, 

24  The  vats  overflow  ; 

For  their  wickedness  is  great. 

25  Multitudes,  multitudes  in  the  valley  of  decision  ! 

For  the  day  of  Jehovah  is  near  in  the  valley  of  decision. 

26  The  sun  and  the  moon  are  darkened. 

And  the  stars  zvithdratv  their  shitting. 

27  And  Jehovah,  shall  roar  from  Zion, 

And  utter  His  voice  from  Jerusalem; 

And  the  heavens  and  the  earth  shall  shake: 

28  But  Jehovah  will  be  a  refuge  unto  His  people, 

And  a  strong  hold  to  the  children  of  Israel. 

29  So  shall  ye  know  that  I  am  Jehovah  your  Grod, 

Dtvelling  in  Zion,  My  holy  mountain. 


30  For,  behold,  the  day  cometh,  it  burneth  as  a  furnace ; 

And  all  the  proud,  and  all  that  work  wickedness,  shall  be  stubble: 

31  And  the  day  that  cometh  shall  burn  them  up,  saith  Jehovah  of 

hosts, 
That  it  shall  leave  them  neither  root  nor  branch. 

32  But  unto  you  that  fear  My  Name  shall  the  sun  of  righteousness 

arise  with  healing  in  his  wings ; 
And  ye  shall  go  forth,  and  gambol  as  calves  of  the  stall. 

33  And  ye  shall  tread  down  the  wicked ; 

For  they  shall  be  ashes  under  the  soles  of  your  feet 
In  the  day  that  I  do  make,  saith  Jehovah  of  hosts. 

34  Remember  ye  the  law  of  Moses  My  servant, 

Which  I  commanded  unto  him  in  Horeb  for  all  Israel, 
Even  statutes  and  judgments. 

35  Behold,  I  will  send  you  Ehjah  the  prophet 

Before  the  great  and  terrible  day  of  Jehovah  come. 

36  And  he  shall  turn  the  heart  of  the  fathers  to  the  children, 

And  the  heart  of  the  children  to  their  fathers; 
Lest  I  come  and  smite  the  earth  with  a  curse.

2  But  his  delight  is  in  the  law  of  Jehovah  ; 

And  in  His  law  doth  he  meditate  day  and  night.

That  bringeth  forth  its  fruit  in  its  season,

And  tvhatsoever  he  doeth  shall  prosper. 

5  The  wicked  are  not  so ;

But  the  loay  of  the  loicked  shall  perish.

10  When  I  shall  find  the  set  time,  T  will  judge  uprightly.

He  putteth  down  one,  and  lifteth  up  another. 

15  For  in  the  hand  of  Jehovah  there  is  a  cup,  and  the  wine  foameth ; 

It  is  full  of  mixture,

Surely  the  dregs  thereof,  all  the  wicked  of  the  earth  shall  drain  them, 
and  drink  them. 

17  But  I  will  declare  forever, 

I  tvill  sing  praises  to  the  God  of  Jacob. 

18  All  the  horns  of  the  wicked  also  will  I  cut  off; 

But  the  horns  of  the  righteous  shall  be  lifted  up. 


19  God  standeth  in  the  congregation  of  God ;

20  How  long  will  ye  judge  unjustly. 

And  respect  the  persons  of  the  wicked  ? 

21  Judge  the  poor  and  fatherless : 

Do  justice  to  the  afflicted  and  destitute. 

22  Rescue  the  poor  and  needy : 

Deliver  them  out  of  the  hand  of  the  ivicked. 

23  They  know  not,

And  his  violence  shall  come  down  upon  his  own  pate. 

19  I  will  give  thanks  unto  Jehovah  according  to  His  righteousness ; 

And  will  sing  praise  to  the  Name  of  Jehovah  Most  High. 


20  Why  standest  Thou  afar  off,  0  Jehovah  ? 

Why  hidest  Thou  Thyself  in  times  of  trouble  f 

21  In  the  pride  of  the  wicked  the  poor  is  hotly  pursued  j 

Let  them  be  taken  in  the  devices  that  they  have  devised. 
21  For  the  wicked  boasteth  of  his  heart's  desire, 

And  the  covetous  renounceth,  yea,  contemneih  Jehovah. 

23  The  wicked,  in  the  pride  of  his  countenance,  saith.  He  will  not 

require  it. 
All  his  thoughts  are,  There  is  no  God. 

24  His  ways  are  firm  at  all  times ; 

TJiy  judgments  are  far  above  out  of  his  sight: 

25  As  for  all  his  adversaries,  he  puifeth  at  them. 
He  saith  in  his  heart,  I  shall  not  be  moved : 

To  all  generations  I  shall  not  be  in  adversity, 

26  His  mouth  is  full  of  cursing  and  deceit  and  oppression : 

Under  his  tongue  is  mischief  and  iniquity, 

27  He  sitteth  in  the  Im-king-places  of  the  villages : 

In  the  covert  places  doth  he  murder  the  innocent : 

28  His  eyes  are  privily  set  against  the  helpless. 

He  lurketh  in  the  covert  as  a  lion  in  Ms  den : 

29  He  Ueth  in  wait  to  catch  the  poor : 

He  doth  catch  the  poor,  when  he  draweth  him  in  his  net. 

30  He  croucheth,  he  boweth  down, 

And  the  helpless  fall  by  his  strong  ones. 

31  He  saith  in  his  heart,  God  hath  forgotten : 

He  hideth  His  face  ;  He  ivill  never  see  it. 

32  Arise,  0  Jehovah ;  0  God,  lift  up  Thy  hand : 

Forget  not  the  poor. 

33  Wherefore  doth  the  wicked  contemn  God, 

And  say  in  his  heart,  Thou  wilt  not  require  it  ? 

34  Thou  hast  seen  it ;  for  Thou  beholdest  mischief  and  spite, 

To  requite  it  with  Thy  hand. 

35  The  helpless  committeth  himself  unto  Thee ; 

Thoic  hast  been  the  helper  of  the  fatherless. 

36  Break  Thou  the  arm  of  the  wicked ; 

And  as  for  the  evil  man,  seek  out  his  wickedness  till  Thou  find  none. 

37  Jehovah  is  King  for  ever  and  ever : 

The  nations  are  perished  out  of  His  land.

The  tempest  of  waters  |  passed  |  by :

i^pmn  of  ^raijefe 


John  Mason  Neale,  D.  D.,  and  Sir  Henry  Williams  Baker,  tr.  Pub. 
From  Latin  Hymn  of  Aurelius  Clemens  Prudentius,  about  A.  D. 
(Dox.  slightly  alt.) 


Op  the  Father's  love  begotten, 
Ere  the  worlds  began  to  be, 

He,  the  Alpha  and  Omega, 
He  the  source,  the  ending  He, 

Of  the  things  that  are,  that  have  been. 
And  that  future  years  shall  see, 
Evermore  and  evermore ! 

2  At  His  word  the  worlds  were  framed; 
He  commanded ;  it  was  done : 

Heaven  and  earth  and  depths  of  ocean 
In  their  threefold  order  one  ; 

All  that  grows  beneath  the  shining 
Of  the  moon  and  burning  sun, 
Evermore  and  evermore ! 

3  He  is  found  in  human  fashion. 
Death  and  sorrow  here  to  know, 

That  the  race  of  Adam's  children. 
Doomed  by  law  to  endless  woe. 


May  not  henceforth  die  and  perish 
In  the  dreadful  gulf  below, 
Evermore  and  evermore ! 

4  This  is  He  whom  seers  in  old  time 
Chanted  of  with  one  accord ; 

Whom  the  voices  of  the  prophets 
Promised  in  their  faithful  word ; 

Now  He  shines,  the  long-expected : 
Let  creation  praise  its  Lord : 
Evermore  and  evermore ! 

5  0  ye  heights  of  heav'n,  adore  Him 
Angel  hosts  His  praises  sing ! 

AU  dominions  bow  before  Him 
And  extol  our  God  and  King ! 

Let  no  tongue  on  earth  be  silent, 
Every  voice  in  concert  ring. 
Evermore  and  evermore ! 


g    C  Christ,  to  Thee!  to  Thee,  O      Fa-ther!  And,  O  Ho  -  ]y    Ghost,  to  Thee!—) 
\  One     and    on  -  ly^    God — thanksgiving     And  un- wearied     prais-es    be,       )

Upon  the  throne  of  David,  [no  end, 

Atid  upon  his  kingdom, 

12  To  establish  it,  and  to  uphold  it  with  judgment 

And  with  righteousness  henceforth  even  forever. 

The  zeal  of  Jehovah  of  hosts  shall  perform  this. 


13  Behold  My  servant,  whom  I  uphold ; 

My  chosen,  in  ichom  My  soul  delighteth : 

14  I  have  put  My  spirit  upon  Him ; 

He  shall  bring  forth  judgment  to  the  Gentiles, 

15  He  shall  not  cry,  nor  lift  up, 

Nor  cause  his  voice  to  be  heard  in  the  street. 
36  A  bruised  reed  shall  He  not  break. 

And  the  smoking  fteix  shall  He  not  quench: 

He  shall  bring  forth  judgment  in  truth. 

17  He  shall  not  fail  nor  be  discouraged, 
Till  He  have  set  judgment  in  the  earth ; 

And  the  isles  shall  wait  for  His  law.

And  stretched  them  forth; 

19  He  that  spread  abroad  the  earth 

And  that  tvhich  cometh  out  of  it; 

20  He  that  giveth  breath  unto  the  people  upon  it, 

And  spirit  to  them  that  walk  therein  : 

21  I  Jehovah  have  called  Thee  in  righteousness. 

And  will  hold  Thy  hand,  and  will  keep  Thee, 

22  And  give  Thee  for  a  covenant  of  the  people, 

For  a  light  of  the  Gentiles  ; 

23  To  open  the  blind  eyes. 

To  bring  out  the  prisoners  from  the  dungeon, 

And  them  that  sit  in  darkness  out  of  the  prison  house.

Neither  My  praise  unto  graven  images.

And  new  things  do  I  declare  : 

Before  they  spring  forth  I  tell  you  of  them.

And  His  praise  from  the  end  of  the  earth  ; 

27  Ye  that  go  down  to  the  sea,  and  all  that  is  therein,

Let  them  shout  from  the  top  of  the  mountains. 

30  Let  them  give  glory  unto  Jehovah, 

And  declare  His  praise  in  the  islands.

He  shall  stir  up  jealousy  like  a  man  of  ivar:

32  He  shall  cry,  yea,  He  shall  shout  aloud ; 

He  shall  do  mightily  against  His  enemies. 

33  I  have  long  time  holden  My  peace  ; 

/  have  been  still,  and  refrained  Myself. 

34  I  will  lay  waste  mouutains  and  hills, 

And  dry  up  all  their  herbs; 

35  And  I  will  make  the  rivers  islands, 

And  will  dry  up  the  pools. 

36  And  I  will  bring  the  blind  by  a  way  that  they  know  not ; 

In  paths  that  they  knoio  not  will  I  lead  them :  [straight. 

37  I  will  make   darkness  light  before  them,  and  crooked  places 

TJiese  things  tcill  I  do,  and  I  will  not  forsake  them. 

38  Hear,  ye  deaf ; 

And  look,  ye  blind j  that  ye  may  see.

Clothed  in  a  garb  of  flesh  and  blood ;  That  weary  ones  in  Thee  may  rest ; 

Choosing  a  manger  for  Thy  throne,  Forlorn  and  lowly  is  Thy  birth, 

While  worlds  on  worlds  are  Thine  alone !  That  we  may  rise  to  heaven  from  earth. 


2  Once  did  the  skies  before  Thee  bow ; 
A  virgin's  arms  contain  Thee  now ; 
Angels,  who  did  in  Thee  rejoice, 
Now  listen  for  Thine  infant  voice. 


4  Thou  comest  in  the  darksome  night 
To  make  us  children  of  the  light ; 
To  make  us,  in  the  realms  divine.

William  Walsham  How,  D.D.     (Dox.  added.) 

We  long  to  track  the  footprints 
That  Thou  Thyself  hast  trod ; 

We  long  to  see  the  pathway 
That  leads  to  Thee  our  God. 

3  0  Jesus,  shine  around  us 

With  radiance  of  Thy  grace ; 
0  Jesus,  turn  upon  us 

The  brightness  of  Thy  face. 
We  need  no  star  to  guide  us, 

As  on  our  way  we  press, 
If  Thou  Thy  light  vouchsafest, 

0  Sun  of  righteousness !

From  A  Psalm  of  David,  Ps.  xxxix,  4-13 : 
A  Prayer  of  Moses,  Ps.  xc. 

WHILE  I  was  musing  the  fire  kindled  : 
Then  spake  I  tcith  my  tongue  : 
2  0  Jehovah,  make  me  to  know  mine  end, 
And  the  measure  of  my  days,  what  it  is ; 
Let  me  know  how  frail  I  am. 


312  72.    NEW-YEAK  EVE 

3  Behold,  Thou  hast  made  my  xlays  as  handbreadths ; 

And  mine  age  is  as  nothing  before  Thee : 

4  Svirely  every  man  at  his  best  estate  is  altogether  vanity. 

Surely  every  man  ivalJceth  in  a  vain  shoiv : 

5  Surely  they  are  disquieted  in  vain : 

He  heapeth  up  riches,  and  Tcnoiveth  not  who  shall  gather  them. 

6  And  now,  Lord,  what  wait  I  for  ? 

My  hope  is  in  Thee. 

7  Deliver  me  from  all  my  transgressions : 

Make  me  not  the  reproach  of  the  foolish. 

8  I  was  dumb,  I  opened  not  my  mouth  ; 

Because  Thou  didst  it. 

9  Remove  Thy  stroke  away  from  me : 

/  am  consumed  hy  the  bloiv  of  Tfiy  hand. 

10  When  Thou  with  rebukes  dost  correct  man  for  iniquity, 

Thou  makest  his  beauty  to  consume  away  like  a  moth : 
Surely  every  man  is  vajs'ity. 

11  Hear  my  prayer,  0  Jehovah,  and  give  ear  unto  my  cry ; 

Hold  not  Thy  peace  at  my  tears  : 

12  For  I  am  a  stranger  with  Thee, 

A  sojourner,  as  all  my  fathers  icere. 

13  0  spare  me,  that  I  may  recover  strength, 

Before  I  go  hence,  and  be  no  more. 


14  Lord,  Thou  hast  been  our  dwelling  place 

In  all  generations. 

15  Before  the  mountains  were  brought  forth, 

Or  ever  Thou  hadst  formed  the  earth  and  the  world, 

Even  prom  everlasting  to  everlasting.  Thou  art 
God. 

16  Thou  turnest  man  to  destruction ; 

And  sayest,  Eeturn,  ye  children  of  men, 

17  For  a  thousand  years  in  Thy  sight  are  but  as  yesterday  when  it 

is  past, 
And  as  a  icatch  in  the  night. 
i8»Thou  carriest  them  away  as  with  a  flood ;  they  are  as  a  sleep : 
In  the  morning  they  are  like  grass  which  groxceth  up. 

19  In  the  morning  it  flourisheth,  and  groweth  up  ; 

In  the  evening  it  is  cut  down,  and  withereth. 

20  For  we  are  consumed  in  Thine  anger, 

And  in  TJiy  wratJi  are  ive  troubled. 

21  Thou  hast  set  our  iniquities  before  Thee, 

Our  secret  sins  in  the  light  of  Tliy  countenance. 

22  For  all  our  days  are  passed  away  in  Thy  wrath  : 

We  bring  our  years  to  an  end  as  a  sigh. 

23  The  days  of  our  years  are  threescore  years  and  ten, 

Or  even  by  reason  of  strength  fourscore  years; 

24  Yet  is  their  pride  but  labor  and  sorrow ; 

For  it  is  soon  gone,  and  we  fly  away. 

25  Who  knoweth  the  power  of  Thine  anger. 

And  Thy  wrath  according  to  the  fear  that  is  due  unto  Thee? 


^2.     NEW- YEAR   EVE

26  So  teach  us  to  number  our  days, 

Tliat  toe  may  get  us  a  heart  of  wisdom. 

27  Return,  0  Jehovah ;  how  long  ? 

And  let  it  repent  Thee  concerning  Thy  servants. 

28  0  satisfy  us  in  the  morning  with  Thy  lovingkindness ; 

That  we  may  rejoice  and  be  glad  all  our  days. 

29  Make  us  glad  according  to  the  days  wherein  Thou  hast  afflicted  us. 

And  the  years  ivherein  we  have  seen  evil. 

30  Let  Thy  work  appear  unto  Thy  servants, 

And  Tliy  glory  upon  their  children. 

31  And  let  the  favor  of  Jehovah  our  God  be  upon  us : 

And  establish  Thou  the  loorlc  of  our  hands  upon  us; 

Yea,  the  work  op  our  hands  establish  Thou  it.

2  My  days  are  hke  a  shadow  |  that  de-  |  clineth,

For  it  is  time  to  have  pity  upon  her, 
I  Yea,  the  •  set  |  time  is  |  come. 

5  0  my  God,  take  me  not  away  in  the  |  midst  *  of  my  |  days :

7  They  shall  perish,  but  |  Thou  *  shalt  en-  |  dure  :

Sufficient  is  Thine  arm  alone, 

And  our  defense  is  sure.

Isaac  Watts,  D.D.,  1719.     (Dox.  added.) 

A  thousand  ages,  in  Thy  sight,

Short  as  the  watch  that  ends  the  night, 

Before  the  rising  sun. 

3  Time,  like  an  ever-roUing  stream, 

Bears  all  its  sons  away ; 
They  fly,  forgotten,  as  a  dream 

Dies  at  the  opening  day. 
Our  God !  our  help  in  ages  past, 

Our  hope  for  years  to  come ! 
Be  Thou  our  guard  while  troubles  last. 

And  our  eternal  home.

Richard  Langdon,  d.  1798. 

GOD  be  merciful  unto  |  us,  and  |  bless  us, 
And  cause  His  |  face  to  |  shine  up-  |  on  us ; 

2  That  Thy  way  may  be  |  known  upon  |  earth, 

Thy  sal-  |  vation  a-  |  mong  all  |  nations. 

3  Let  the  peoples  praise  1  Thee,  0  |  God ; 

Let  I  all  the  |  peo-ples  |  praise  Thee. 

4  O  let  the  nations  be  glad  and  |  sing  for  |  joy : 

For  Thou  shalt  judge  the  peoples  with  equity, 
And  govern  the  |  na-tions  |  up-on  |  earth. 

5  Let  the  peoples  praise  |  Thee,  O  |  God ; 

Let  I  aU  the  |  peo-ples  |  praise  Thee. 

6  The  earth  hath  yielded  her  increase  : 
God,  even  our  own  |  God,  shall  |  bless  us. 

God  shall  bless  us  ; 

And  aU  the  ends  of  the  |  earth  shall  |  fear  |  Him. 

7  Glory  be  to  the  Father  |  and  *  to  the  |  Son 

And  I  to  the  i  Ho-ly  |  Ghost : 

8  As  it  was  in  the  beginning,  is  now,  and  |  ev-er  |  shall  be. 

World  I  with-out  I  end :   A-  I  men.

Hymn  No.  1.    l.m. 

The  heavens  declare  Thy  glory,  Lord ! 

In  every  star  Thy  wisdom  shines ; 
But,  when  our  eyes  behold  Thy  word, 

We  read  Thy  Name  in  fairer  lines. 


Isaac  Watts,  D.  D.,  1719.     (Dox.  added.) 

3  Sun,  moon,  and  stars  convey  Thy  praise 
Round  the  whole  earth,  and  never  stand ; 

So,  when  Thy  truth  began  its  race, 
It  touched  and  glanced  on  every  land. 


2  The  rolling  sun,  the  changing  light,  4  Nor  shall  Thy  spreading  gospel  rest 
And  nights  and  days  Thy  power  confess ;       Till  through  the  world  Thy  truth  has  run, 

But  the  blest  volume  Thou  hast  writ  Till  Christ  has  aU  the  nations  blessed, 

Reveals  Thy  justice  and  Thy  grace.  That  see  the  hght,  or  feel  the  sun.

1  WILL  extol  Thee,  my  1  God,  0  |  King ; 

i        And  I  will  bless  Thy  |  Name  for  |  ever  and  |  ever. 

2  Every  |  day  *  will  I  |  bless  Thee ; 

And  I  will  praise  Thy  |  Name  for  |  ever  and  |  ever. 

3  Great  is  Jehovah  and  highly  to  be  prais'd ; 
And  His  greatness  |  is  un-  |  searchable. 

One  generation  shall  laud  Thy  works  to  another, 
And  shall  de-  |  clare  Thy  |  might-y  |  acts. 

4  They  shall  utter  the  memory  of  Thy  great  goodness, 
And  shall  sing  of  Thy  |  right-eous-  |  ness. 

Jehovah  is  gracious  and  merciful ; 

Slow  to  anger,  and  of  |  great  |  lov-ing-  j  kindness. 

5  Jehovah  is  good  to  all ; 

And  His  tender  mercies  are  over  |  all  His  I  works. 

All  Thy  works  shall  give  thanks  unto  Thee,  O  Jehovah, 
And  Thy  |  saints  shall  |  bless  |  Thee. 

6  Thy  Kingdom  is  an  ever-  |  last-ing  |  Kingdom, 

And   Thy   dominion   endure th   through-  |  out   all  |  gener- 
ations. 

7  The  eyes  of  all  wait  upon  Thee ; 

And  Thou  givest  them  their  |  food  *  in  due  I  season. 
Thou  openest  Thy  hand, 
And  satisflest  the  desu'e  of  |  ev-ery  |  liv-ing  |  thing. 

8  Jehovah  is  righteous  in  all  His  ways, 
And  gi'acious  in  |  all  His  |  works. 

Jehovah  is  nigh  unto  all  them  that  call  upon  Him, 
To  all  that  |  call  upon  |  Him  in  |  truth. 

9  Jehovah  preserveth  all  |  them  that  |  love  Him ; 

But  aU  the  |  wicked  will  |  He  de-  |  stroy. 
10  My  moiith  shall  speak  the  |  praise  *  of  Je-  |  hovah ; 

And  let  all  flesh  bless  His  holy  |  Name  for  |  ever  and  |  ever.

Holy  and  infinite !  viewless !  eternal ! 

VaUed  in  the  glory  that  none  can  sus-

None  comprehendeth  Thy  being  supernal, 

Nor  can  the  heaven  of  heavens  contain.

All  Thy  perfections  and  powers  and 

praise : 
Ocean  of  mystery !  awful  and  soundless 
All  Thine  unsearchable  judgments  and 
ways.

Could  the  created  and  finite  sustain,

4  Therefore  archangels  and  angels  adore 
Cherubim  wonder,  and  seraphs  admire ; 

Therefore  we  praise  Thee,  rejoicing  before 
Thee, 
Joining  in  rapture  the  heavenly  ehoir. 

5  Glorious  in  holiness,  fearful  in  praises, 
Who  shall  not  fear  Thee,  and  who  shall 

not  laud  ?

Holy  and  infinite !  Father  and  God !

And  aim  their  rage  against  the  skies : 
Vain  floods,  that  aim  their  rage  so  high ! 
At  Thy  rebuke  the  billows  die. 


2  But  ere  this  spacious  world  was  made,  4  Forever  shaU  Thy  throne  endure : 

Or  had  its  first  foundation  laid,  Thy  promise  stand  forever  sure ; 

Thy  throne  eternal  ages  stood,  And  everlasting  holiness 

Thyself  the  ever-Hving  God.  Becomes  the  dwellings  of  Thy  grace.

IT  is  a  good  thing  to  give  thanks  |  unto  Je-  |  hovah,

2  To  show  forth  Thy  lovingkindness  |  in  the  |  morning.

For,  lo.  Thine  enemies  |  shall  |  perish ;

Amid  the  splendors  of  Thy  state,

Soft  as  the  radiance  of  the  moon 

Among  a  thousand  stars.

In  every  work  Thy  hands  have  framed 

Thy  love  supremely  shines.

3  Sinai,  in  clouds,  and  smoke,  and  fire, 
Thunders  Thine  awful  Name ! 

But  Zion  sings,  in  melting  notes. 
The  honors  of  the  Lamb.

Through  earth  and  heaven  above  5 

And  all,  with  holy  transport,  sing — 
That  God  the  Lord  is  love.

Hosts,  my  |  King'  •  and  my

Knvvett,  from  Handel. 


HOW  amiable  are  Thy  tabernacles,  O  Je-  |  hovah  of  |  hosts ! 
My  soul  longeth,  yea,  even  fainteth  for  the  courts  of  Jehovah ; 
My  heart  and  my  flesh  cry  out  |  unto  the  |  liv-ing  |  God. 

2  Yea,  the  spaiTOw  hath  found  her  a  house, 

And  the  swallow  a  nest  for  herself,  where  she  may  |  lay  her  | 
young, 
Even  Thine  altars,  O  Jehovah  of 
I  God. 

3  Blessed  are  they  that  |  dweU  *  in  Thy 

They  will  be  |  still  |  prais-ing  |  Thee. 

4  Blessed  is  the  man  whose  |  strength  *  is  in  |  Thee ; 

In  whose  heart  are  the  |  high-  |  ways  to  |  Zion. 

5  Passing  through  the  valley  of  Weeping,  they  make  it  a  |  place  of 

springs ; 
Yea,  the  early  raia  |  cover-  *  eth  |  it  with  |  blessings. 

6  They  go  from  |  strength  to  |  strength, 

Every  one  of  them  appeareth  be-  |  fore  |  God  in  |  Zion. 

7  0  Jehovah,  God  of  Hosts,  hear  my  prayer : 
Give  ear,  0  [  God  of  |  Jacob. 

Behold,  0  God  our  Shield, 

And  look  upon  the  |  face  of  |  Thine  an- 

8  For  a  day  in  Thy  coui'ts  is  better  |  than  a  | 

I  had  rather  stand  at  the  threshold 

God, 
Than  to  |  dwell  •  in  the  |  tents  of  |  wickedness. 

9  For  Jehovah,  God,  is  a  |  sun  *  and  a  |  shield : 

Jehovah  will  |  give  |  grace  and  |  glory : 
10  No  good  thing  will  He  withhold  from  them  that  |  walk  up- 
rightly. 

0  Jehovah  of  Hosts,  blessed  is  the  |  man  that  |  trust-  •  eth  in 
Thee.

0,  FOR  a  shout  of  joy. 

Worthy  the  theme  we  sing ; 
To  this  divine  employ 
Our  hearts  and  voices  bring ; 
Sound,  sound,  thro' all  the  earth  abroad, 
The  love,  th'  eternal  love  of  God. 

2  Unnumbered  myriads  stand. 

Of  seraphs  bright  and  fair. 
Or  bow  at  Thy  right  hand. 
And  pay  their  homage  there ; 
But  strive  in  vain  with  loudest  chord, 
To  sound  Thy  wondrous  love,  0  Lord.

3  Yet  sinners  saved  by  grace. 

In  songs  of  lower  key, 
In  every  age  and  place. 
Have  sung  the  mystery  — 
Have  told  in  strains  of  sweet  accord, 
Thy  love.  Thy  sovereign  love,  0  Lord. 

4  Though  earth  and  hell  assail, 
And  doubts  and  fears  arise. 
The  weakest  shall  prevail. 
And  grasp  the  heavenly  prize, 
And  through  an  endless  age  record 
Thy  love.  Thy  changeless  love,  0  Lord.

Who  hast  set  Thy  |  glory  up-  |  on  the  |  heavens.

And  the  son  of  man,  |  that  Thou  |  visit-est  |  him  *? 

5  For  Thou  hast  made  him  but  httle  |  lower  than  |  God, 

And  crownest  him  with  |  glo-ry  |  and  [  honor. 

6  Thou  madest  him  to  have  dominion  over  the  |  works  *  of  Thy  |

Thou  hast  put  |  all  things  |  under  his  |  feet :

And  for  hopes  of  bliss  above. 

3  Hear  us,  as  thus  bending  lowly. 
Near  Thy  bright  and  burning  throne ; 


We  invoke  Thee,  God  most  holy ! 
Through  Thy  well-beloved  Son: 

4  Send  the  baptism  of  Thy  Spirit, 
Shed  the  pentecostal  fire ; 

Let  us  all  Thy  grace  inherit, 
Waken,  crown  each  good  desire. 

5  Bind  Thy  people,  Lord !  in  union. 
With  the  sevenfold  cord  of  love ; 

Breathe  a  spirit  of  communion 
With  the  blessed  hosts  above.

John  Randall,  Mus,  Doc,  d.  1799, 

GREAT  is  Jehovali, 
And  highly  |  to  be  |  prais'd, 
In  the  city  of  our  God, 
I  In  His  I  ho-ly  |  mountain. 

2  Beautiful  in  elevation, 

The  joy  I  of  the  *  whole  |  earth, 

Is  Mount  Zion,  on  the  sides  of  the  north. 
The  I  city  *  of  the  |  great  |  King. 

3  God  hath  made  Himself  known  in  her  palaces  |  for  a  |  refuge. 

As  we  have  |  heard,  so  |  have  we  |  seen 

4  In  the  city  of  Jehovah  of  Hosts,  in  the  |  city  *  of  our  |  God. 

God  will  es-  |  tab-Ush  |  it  for  |  ever. 

5  We  have  thought  on  Thy  lovingkindness,  0  God, 
In  the  I  midst  *  of  Thy  |  temple. 

As  is  Thy  Name,  O  God, 

So  is  Thy  praise  unto  the  |  ends  |  of  the  |  earth : 

6  Thy  right  hand  is  full  of  righteousness. 
Let  Mount  |  Zion  be  |  glad. 

Let  the  daughters  of  Judah  rejoice. 
Be-  I  cause  of  |  Thy  |  judgments. 

7  Walk  about  Zion,  and  go  round  about  her: 
Number  the  |  towers  there-  |  of ; 

Mark  ye  well  her  bulwarks, 
Con-  I  sider  her  |  pal-a-  |  ces : 

8  That  ye  may  tell  it  to  the  gener-  |  a-tion  |  following. 

For  this  God  is  our  God  for  ever  and  ever: 
He  wiU  be  our  I  guide  ev'n  |  un-to  |  death. 


9  Glory  be  to  the  Father  |  and  *  to  the  |  Son 

And  I  to  the  |  Ho-ly  |  Ghost ; 
10  As  it  was  in  the  beginning,  is  now,  and  |  ev-er 

World  I  with-out  I  end :  A-  I  men.

That  veils  and  darkens  Thy  designs.  And  brings  salvation  to  our  taste. 


2  Forever  firm  Thy  justice  stands. 
As  mountains  their  foundations  keep : 

Wise  are  the  wonders  of  Thy  hands ; 
Thy  judgments  are  a  mighty  deep. 


4  Life,  like  a  fountain  rich  and  free, 
Springs  from  the  presence  of  our  Lord ; 

And  in  Thy  light  our  souls  shall  see 
The  glories  promised  in  Thy  word.

Lord,  Thy  glory  fills  the  heaven ; 

Earth  is  with  its  fuUness  stored ; 
Unto  Thee  be  glory  given. 

Holy,  holy,  holy  Lord ! 
Heaven  is  still  with  anthems  ringing ; 

Earth  takes  up  the  angels'  cry, 
Holy !  holy !  holy  !  singing, 

Lord  of  hosts,  Thou  Lord  most  high ! 

2  Ever  thus  in  God's  high  praises. 
Brethren,  let  our  tongues  unite, 

While  our  thoughts  His  greatness  raises, 
And  our  love  His  gifts  excite : 


Richard  Mant,  D.D.,  pub.  1837.     (Dox.  added.) 

With  His  seraph  train  before  Him, 
With  His  holy  church  below, 

Thus  unite  we  to  adore  Him, 
Bid  we  thus  our  anthem  flow, 

3  Lord,  Thy  glory  fills  the  heaven, 

Earth  is  with  its  fvdlness  stored ; 
Unto  Thee  be  glory  given, 

Holy,  holy,  holy  Lord ! 
Thus  Thy  glorious  Name  confessing, 

We  adopt  the  angels'  cry. 
Holy !  holy  !  holy  !  blessing 

Thee,  the  Lord  our  God  most  high !

Hymn  No.  4.    s.  p.  m. 

The  Lord  Jehovah  reigns, 
And  royal  state  maintains, 

His  head  with  awful  glories  crowned ; 
Arrayed  in  robes  of  Hght, 
Begirt  with  sovereign  might, 

And  rays  of  majesty  around. 

2  Upheld  by  Thy  commands, 
The  world  securely  stands. 

And  skies  and  stars  obey  Thy  word : 
Thy  throne  was  fixed  on  high 
Ere  stars  adorned  the  sky : 

Eternal  is  Thy  kingdom,  Lord. 


^ 


Isaac  Watts,  D.D.,  1719.     (Dox.  added.) 

3  Let  floods  and  nations  rage, 
And  all  their  powers  engage ; 

Let  sweUing  tides  assault  the  sky  : 
The  terrors  of  Thy  frown 
ShaU  beat  their  madness  down : 

Thy  throne  forever  stands  on  high. 

4  Thy  promises  are  true, 
Thy  grace  is  ever  new ; 

There  fixed  —  Thy  church  shall  ne'er  re- 
Thy  saints  with  holy  fear  [move : 

ShaU  ia  Thy  courts  appear, 

And  sing  Thine  everlasting  love.

Hymn  No.  4.    l.  m. 

Great  is  the  Lord !    What  tongue  can 

frame 
An  honor  equal  to  His  Name  ? 
How  wonderful  His  glorious  ways ! 
The  Lord  is  awful  in  His  praise ! 

2  Vast  are  Thy  works,  Almighty  Lord ! 
All  nature  rests  upon  Thy  word ; 


Isaac  Watts,  D.  D.,  d.  1738,  alt.     (Dox.  added) 

And  clouds,  and  storms,  and  fire  obey 
Thy  wise  and  all-controlHng  sway. 

3  Thy  glory,  fearless  of  decline, 
Thy  glory,  Lord,  shaU  ever  shine  ; 
Thy  praise  shall  stiU.  our  breath  employ 
Till  we  shall  rise  to  endless  joy.

Hymn  No.  1.    l.m. 

Lord  of  all  being !  throned  afar, 
Thy  glory  flames  from  su;ii  and  star ; 
Center  and  soul  of  every  sphere, 
Yet  to  each  loving  heart  how  near ! 


2  Sun  of  our  life,  Thy  quickening  ray 
Sheds  on  our  path  the  glow  of  day ; 
Star  of  our  hope,  Thy  softened  light 
Cheers  the  long  watches  of  the  night. 


Oliver  Wendell  Holmes,  M.  D.,  pub.  1859.     (Dox.  added.) 


3  Lord  of  aU  life,  below,  above, 
Whose  light  is  truth,  whose  warmth  is  love, 
Before  Thine  ever-blazing  throne 

We  ask  no  luster  of  our  own. 

4  Grant  us  Thy  truth  to  make  us  free, 
And  kindling  hearts  that  burn  for  Thee, 
TUl  all  Thy  living  altars  claim 

One  holy  light,  one  heavenly  flame !

FOREVER,  0  Jehovah,  Thy  word  is  |  settled  in  |  heaven. 
Thy  faithfulness  is  |  un-to  |  all  gener-  |  ations. 

2  I  have  seen  an  end  of  |  all  per-  |  fection ; 

But  Thy  commandment  |  is  ex-  |  ceed-ing  |  broad. 

3  Thy  word  is  a  lamp  unto  my  feet, 
And  light  |  unto  my  |  path. 

Thy  testimonies  have  I  taken  as  a  |  her-i-  |  tage  for-  |  ever. 

4  Thou  art  my  hiding-place  and  my  shield  : 
I  I  hope  •  in  Thy  |  word. 

I  love  Thy  commandments  above  gold, 
I  Yea,  a-  |  bove  fine  |  gold. 

5  The  opening  of  Thy  |  words  giveth  |  light ; 

It  giveth  under-  |  standing  un-  |  to  the  |  simple. 

6  Order  my  footsteps  |  in  Thy  |  word ; 

And  let  not  any  iniquity  have  do-  |  min-ion  |  o-ver  |  me.

Author  and  date  unknown :  probably  a  compilation  from  a  Morning  Hymn  of  the  early  Church  dating  near  the 
time  of  the  apostles.     It  is  traceable  in  some  of  its  materials  in  the  middle  of  the  third  century,  or  earlier;  and 
'  is  said  to  have  been  compiled  in  its  present  form  by  Ambrose,  Bishop  of  Milan,  for  the  baptism  of  Augustine, 
abt.  387.     It  is  full  of  echoes  of  Holy  Scripture  ;  having  for  key-note,  Is.  vi,  3,  with  Rev.  iv,  8 ;  v,  13.

In  Gloria  in  Ilxcelsis  (on  the  following  page),  the  repetition  in  the  Book  of  Common  I'rayer 
("  Thou  that  takest  away  the  sins  of  the  world,  have  mercy  upon  us")  is  omitted.  It  is 
no  part  of  the  original  hymn — not  being  found  in  any  of  the  ancient  Latin  or  Greek  litur- 
gies, or  even  in  the  earliest  Prayer  Book  in  English,  1549.  For  its  appearance  in  the 
second  Prayer  Book  of  King  Edward  vi,  1552,  no  reason  is  known:  an  error  in  printing 
has  been  suggested.  Also  "sins  of  the  world"  is  changed  to  "sin  of  the  world,"  in 
accordance  with  John,  i,  29.

BLESSED  be  the  Lord,  the  |  God  of  |  Israel ; 
For  He  hath  visited  and  wrought  re-  |  demp-tion  |  for  His  | 
people, 

2  And  hath  rais'd  up  a  mighty  sal-  |  vation  for  |  us 

In  the  I  house  *  of  His  1  ser-vant  |  David : 

3  As  He  spake  by  the  mouth  of  His  holy  prophets  that  have  | 

been  of  |  old  — 
Salvation  from  oui*  enemies  and  from  the  |  hand  of  |  all  that 
I  hate  us ; 

4  To  show  mercy  |  toward  our  |  fathers, 

And  to  remember  His  |  ho-ly  |  cov-en-  |  ant.

To  grant  unto  us  that  we  being  deliver'd  out  of  the  |  hand  • 
of  our  I  en-e-  |  mies 

6  Should  serve  |  Him  without  |  fear. 

In  holiness  and  righteousness  he-  \  fore  Him  |  aU  our  1  days. 

7  Yea,  and  Thou,  Child,  shalt  be  called  The  Prophet  |  of  the  •  Most 

[High: 
For  Thou  shalt  go  before  the  face  of  the  |  Lord  *  to  make  | 
read}'  His  |  ways  ; 

8  To  give  knowledge  of  salvation  |  unto  His  |  people 

In  the  re-  |  mis-sion  |  of  their  |  sins, 

9  Because  of  the  tender  mercy  |  of  our  |  God, 

Whereby  the  Dayspring  from  on  '  high  shall  |  vis-it  !  us,

It  is  the  teaching  of  Christ's  inspired  apostles  and  evangelists  that,  as  the 
whole  Visible  Church  on  earth  embodies  the  general  Christian  fellowship,  so,  in 
any  place,  A  Church  embodies  the  Christian  fellowship  as  local  and  stated. 

Beyond  this  simple  form,  in  which  Churches  appear  in  the  New  Testament  — 
locally  distinct,  yet  all  in  communion  one  with  another  through  theu'  common 
fellowship  in  Christ  Jesus,  and  their  common  acceptance  of  the  apostolic  guidance — 
further  organization  in  various  directions  has  often  been  deemed  desirable  both 
within  the  Church  and  for  constituting  many  Churches  into  a  general  Church. 
As  such  further  organization,  with  its  mode  and  extent,  must  necessarily  be  decided 
in  each  case  by  the  judgment  of  those  concerned,  the  Acts  and  Usages  here  pro- 
vided confine  themselves  within  the  sphere  of  the  simple  Christian  fellowship  —  in 
the  following  view. 

1.  A  Church  of  Jesus  Christ  is  created  by  no  human  act  of  organization ;  but 
in  such  act  only  recognizes  the  fact  of  its  local  fellowship  as  constituted  by  the 
Holy  Spirit,  and  assigns  through  Him  its  stated  ministries. 

2.  It  devises  no  basis  of  membership  for  itseK ;  but  recognizes  and  welcomes 
as  its  members  those  who,  consenting  thereto  and  gathering  statedly  with  it,  con- 
fess Christ  and  show  diseipleship  toward  Him. 

3.  It  observes  the  ordinances  of  the  Lord  Jesus. 

4.  It  administers  within  itself  the  government  of  Ckrist  through  the  indwelling 
of  the  Holy  Spirit ;  and  this  according  to  the  Word  of  God  which  is  its  only  Law, 
and  under  the  leadership  which  Christ  assigned  to  His  apostles. 

5.  It  stands  in  the  communion  of  Christ's  whole  Church  —  being  in  fellowship 
through  Him  with  all  His  Churches  and  with  all  His  people.

anti  €o\3enant 


This  is  an  act  (omitting  the  directions  as  to  its  form  in  a  public  Service)  fitted  for  adoption  by 
vote  in  a  meeting  called  for  the  organization  of  a  Church— the  decisive  act  by  which  a 
company  of  disciples  recognize  themselves  as  becoming  statedly  a  Church  of  Christ.  It  is 
taken  as  the  basis  of  the  Usages  (which  follow)  in  the  Kecognition  of  New  Members  on 
Transfer  from  other  Churches,  and  on  Confession  of  Christ. 

After  its  more  private  adoption  —  which  may  be  by  a  vote  of  Declaration  (see  such  a  form 
appended)— it  will  properly  have  place  in  the  public  Service  in  which  the  new  Church 
receives  recognition  in  the  fellowship  of  the  Churches. 

In  such  public  Service,  imless  the  Minister  be  one  of  the  members  of  the  new  Church,  he  observes 
to  change  the  pronouns  "we,"  etc.,  to  "you,"  etc.,  throughout.  In  such  pubUo  Ser^ace  all 
the  members  of  the  new  Church  join  aloud  in  the  Responses  printed  in  small  capitals.

We  are  here  gathered  together  —  a  compaBy  of  Christian  disciples  in  [name  of

or  three  are  gathered  together  in  My  Name,  there  am  I  in  the  midst  of  them ;

Further,  this  teaching  of  Christ's  apostle  Paul ;  With  the  heart  man  believeth        y 
unto  righteousness ;  and  with  the  mouth  confession  is  made  unto  salvation.  y

Forasmuch  then  as  Almighty  God  in  eternal  grace  through  Christ,  according 
to  the  svire  testimony  of  His  Word,  offers  unto  sinful  men  salvation  and  life  eternal, 
granting  His  Spirit  to  work  in  them  repentance,  and  to  unite  them  to  His  Son  in 
the  new  life  of  faith  and  holy  obedience  :

This  company  of  visible  disciples  of  Jesus  Christ  statedly  gathered  together  in  His  Name  in 
[Town,  etc.  State,  etc.  1, and  known  as  ^tlie  (lesiirnatitiTi  of  the  ehureb], declares  its  foregoing  Recog-

yet  only  as  serving  to  develop  and  administer  the  authority  of  Christ  and  His  sole  rule  in  His 
Church,  according  to  the  Word  of  God. 

In  the  Recognition  of  New  Members,  the  more  private  procedure  and  the  public  Usages  are  to 
represent  the  spirit  and  substance  of  the  foregoing  Act  in  any  convenient  forms ;  provided  that  such 
forms  (with  Baptism,  or  with  the  open  confirming  of  a  Baptism  aforetime)  shall  enforce  as  the  test 
of  discipleship  this  that  our  Lord  has  ordained  for  fellowship  in  His  Church  —  an  open  confession 
of  Jesus  Christ  before  men,  with  credible  profession  of  a  full  purpose  for  a  life  of  godly  obedience 
through  faith  in  Him  as  the  only  Savior. 

The  foregoing  Act  —  as  also  this  Declaration  —  is  alterable  no  otherwise  than  as  accords  with 
the  Word  of  God ;  and  only  by  two  successive  votes,  each  of  not  less  than  four-fifths  of  all  such 
members  as  are  present  respectively  in  two  meetings  of  the  Church  —  provided  that  the  two  votes 
be  each  the  vote  of  a  majority  of  all  the  resident  members;  notice  that  alteration  is  proposed  having 
been  given  publicly  in  the  congregation  on  the  Lord's  Day  preceding  each  of  the  meetings ;  the  two 
meetings  being  separated  by  not  less  than  two  months  or  more  than  six  months.

I'm  not  ashamed  to  own  my  Lord, 
Or  to  defend  His  cause  ; 

Maintain  the  honor  of  His  word. 
The  glory  of  His  cross. 


What  I've  committed  to  His  hands 
Till  the  decisive  hour. 


3  Then  will  He  own  my  humble  name 
Before  His  Father's  face,

And  He  can  well  secure  Appoint  my  soul  a  place.

And  since  aU  who  beheve  on  Christ  Jesus  are  called  in  one  Body,  which  is  His 
Church,  to  confess  Him  before  men : 

PROPOSITION 

Therefore  you  —  having  received  grace  from  God  to  believe  on  and  follow 
His  Son,  and  in  His  providence  having  your  place  [from  childhood]  among  us  — 
do  now  stand  forth  from  the  world  before  these  witnesses  and  those  unseen,  to  join 
with  this  company  of  disciples,  and  with  the  whole  Church  of  God,  in  confessing 
our  Lord  and  Savior. 

CONFESSION  OF  CHRIST 

[The  Church  (and  all  Christian  disciples  present)  rise,  and  stand  through  this  confession] 
With  the  Apostles,  and  the  Church  in  all  ages  and  throughout  the  world ; 
With  the  Heavenly  Jerusalem,  the  joyful  assembly  of  the  redeemed  on  high ; 

[The  Church  (with  the  other  (liBciplcH)  and  the  candidates,  All,  join  aloud—] 

We  confess  Jesus  the  Christ, 
The  Son  of  the  Living  God  :  Amen. 

[All  sit  except  Minister  and  candidates] 
[Matt,  xvi,  15-19:  iii,  16, 17  :  xvii,  5.    Also:  Rom.  x,  9, 10:  Matt,  x,  32,  33:  Lk.  xii,  8,  9:  Jn.  xii,  42,

Trusting  in  Christ  His  Son  for  full  forgiveness  and  eternal  life ; 

Looking  to  His  Spirit  for  all  light  and  strength  and  sanctifying  grace  : 

While  in  repentance  for  all  your  sins,

You  deny  the  lusts  of  the  flesh  — 

You  renounce  the  works  of  the  devil  — 
To  be  joined  unto  Christ  Jesus,  your  Savior  and  Head; 
To  walk  in  all  His  ordinances  in  the  gospel,  and  make  Him  your  example ; 
To  seek  God  in  prayer  with  thanksgiving ; 
To  submit  lovingly  to  His  will ;

INSTITUTION 

According  as  our  Lord  hath  appointed  in  His  Church,  the  seal  of  the  Christian 
confession  and  covenant  is  Baptism  —  a  symbol  of  the  putting  on  of  Christ  in  our 
new  life  by  the  Holy  Spirit. 

[All  these  Scripture  portions  following,  as  far  ae  to  "  Conflrmatlon,"  are  omitted  at  discretion ; 
especially  if  none  are  to  t»e  baptized] 

For,  even  in  the  Old  Covenant  thus  saith  Jehovah  by  His  prophet :  [Ezki.  xxxvi,  23-27] 

I  will  sprinkle  clean  water  upon  you, 

And  ye  shall  be  clean: 
A  new  heart  also  will  I  give  you, 

And  a  new  spirit  will  I  put  within  you; 
And  I  will  take  away  the  stony  heart  out  of  your  flesh, 

And  I  WILL  give  you  a  heart  of  flesh:  , 

And  I  wiU  put  My  Spirit  within  you, 

And  cause  you  to  walk  in  My  statutes. 

Hear  our  Lord's  last  command  to  His  disciples  before  His  ascension : 

All  authority  hath  been  given  unto  Me  in  heaven  and  on  earth : 

Go  ye  therefore,  and  make  disciples  of  aU  the  nations,  baptizing  them  into  the 

Name  of  the  Father  and  of  the  Son  and  of  the  Holy  Spirit :  [Matt,  xxviii,  is,  19] 

He  that  believeth  and  is  baptized  shall  be  saved.  [Mk.  xvi,  lej 

Also,  let  this  teaching  of  Christ's  apostle  Paul  be  pondered  deeply  in  your 

hearts :    As  many  of  you  as  were  baptized  into  Christ  did  put  on  Christ,    [oai.  wi.  27] 

[Also,  it  is  profitable  that  these  Scriptures  be  consulted  privately :  Matt,  iii,  13-17 :  Mlt.  i,  9-11 : 
Lk.  iii,  21,  22:  Jn.  iii,  13-17:  i,  31,  33:  Acts,  ii,  38-41:  viii,  36-38:  ix,  18:  xxii,  16:  viii,  12:  x, 
u,  47,  48 :  xvi,  14, 15,  33:  xvlii,  8 :  xix,  1-5 :  Rom.  vi,  3-5 :  1  Cor.  i,  13 :  xii,  13 :  Eph.  iv,  4-6 :  Col. 
ii,  12:  I  Pet.  iii,  21] 

CONFIRMATION    OF    BAPTISM    AFORETIME 

[Omitted  when  no  previous  Baptism  is  to  be  confirmed.] 

[Also  in  Churches  in  which  the  Laying  on  of  Hands  is  accepted  as  a  Scriptural  Usage  to  follow 

Baptism,  this  Confirmation  is  omitted,  and  the  form  immediately  following  this  is  used 

instead] 

You  who  aforetime  have  been  baptized  do  now  [severally]  confirm  the  act  and 

faith  of  your  former  Baptism  :  [Assent  by  aU  baptized  candidates]      Amen. 


380      RECOGNITION   OF  NEW  MEMBERS  ON   CONFESSION   OF   CHRIST 


LAYING  ON   OF   HANDS  — upon  any  baptized  aforetime 

[Only  when  "  Confirmation "  above  lias  not  been  used,  and  in  Churohes  which  accept  this 
Usage :  see  Matt,  xix,  13-15 :  Mk.  x,  13-16:   Acts,  viii,  14-19 :  ix,  10-19 :  xix,  5,  6 :  Heb.  vi,  1,  2] 

Minister — having  knowledge  of  any  who  have  been  baptized  (who  maybe  grouped  separately  at 
one  side) —  indicates  to  them  one  by  one  to  come  near,  taking  each  in  turn  by  the  right 
hand,  and  demanding  thus  — 

Hast  thou  been  baptized  into  the  faith  and  confession  of  Jesus  Christ  ? 

[Answer]     /  have.      [or  other  form  of  assent] 
Dost  thou  now  confirm  the  act  and  faith  of  thy  former  Baptism  ? 

[Answer]     /  do.      [or  other  form  of  assent] 

What  is  thy  name  ?  [Answer— the  Baptismal  Name,  without  surname] 

At  the  same  time,  the  full  name  in  writing  should  be  given  to  the  Minister 
Minister  then  lays  his  hands  on  the  person's  head,  praying  thus,  or  to  this  purport  — 

[Heb.  vi,  2 :   Also :  Heb.  xiii,  20 :  I  Pet.  v,  lo] 

Thou  God  of  the  everlasting  covenant : 

Through  the  continual  abiding  of  Thy  Spirit,  perfect,  confirm,  and  strengthen 
this  Thy  child, 

Whom  Thou  hast  called  in  Christ  Jesus,  unto  Thine  eternal  glory  : 

[All]    Amen. 

Thus  with  every  one  severally  of  the  baptized:  but  any  of  such,  conscientiously  declining  to 
confirm  a  former  Baptism,  may  be  omitted  here,  and  assigned  among  those  to  be  baptized, 
as  below. 


THE    BAPTISM 

Minister,  now  taking  his  place  as  for  ministration  of  Baptism  (if  he  have  not  already  so  done) 
indiciites  to  any  awaiting  baptism,  to  come  near  one  by  one,  taking  each  bj-  the  right  hand 
(disposing  the  person  near  the  Font  as  convenient),  and  demanding  thus  — 

What  is  thy  name  1  [Answer  —  the  Baptismal  Name,  without  surname] 

At  the  same  time,  the  full  name  in  writing  should  be  given  to  the  Minister 
Minister  then  baptizes  the  person  with  water  —  therewith  pronouncing  the  Baptismal  Name,  and 
decifiring  the  Baptism,  according  to  Matt.  xx\iii.  19. 

[The  Baptismal  Name] — I  BAPTIZE  thee  into  the  Name  of  the  Father  and  of 
the  Son  and  of  the  Holy  Spirit :  t^iH    Amen. 

In  instant  response  to  this  Amen  after  each  Baptism,  All  present  may  give  praise  to  God,  sing-

CRG  CommUDIOD  AT  T5G  LORD'S  CaBLS 


This  Ordinance  of  Christ  is  observed  at  stated  seasons  appointed  by  the  Church :  special 
observance  also  may  be  had  as  the  Church  may  appoint  or  allow.  Among  the  seasons  stated  or 
special  may  be  included  the  anniversaries  of  our  Lord's  Resurrection,  and  of  the  Gift  of  the  Holy 
Spirit  on  the  Day  of  Pentecost. 

Announcement  of  each  stated  Communion  season  is  given  in  the  congregation  on  the  Lord's 
Day  preceding,  besides  earUer  notice  as  requisite  for  any  persons  concerned. 

When  the  Church  is  gathered  together  for  the  Lord's  Supper — the  general  Service  having  pro- 
ceeded as  far  as  XIII,  Sermon  —announcement  is  then  to  be  made  that  "  The  Lord's  Table  is  here 
spread  "— with  any  requisite  Invitation  and  Exhortation  to  commune.  The  Communion  Service 
proper  then  begins,  taking  the  place  of  all  that  would  follow  in  the  general  Service. 

The  connected  Service  as  far  as  to  the  Sermon  mainly  observes  the  usual  Order,  but  with  varia- 
tions as  shown  in  The  Service  in  the  Lord's  House  in  early  pages  of  this  book  (see  also  the 
Notes  there  given,  and  the  shortened  Order  of  Service).  For  convenience  the  special  Order  of  the 
connected  Service  is  here  shown  in  outline;  and  the  Litamj  and  the  Offerlory  are  included.

THE   COMMUNION  AT  THE  LOED'S  TABLE  385 

AN   ANCIENT   CREED 

Of  unknown  origin ;  but  probably  a  revision  and  enlargement,  362-373,  of  primitive  formulas  used  at  Baptism  in 
the  First  Church  of  Christ,  in  Jerusalem. 

[For  Note  ae  to  the  change  In  this  creed  at  one  point,  eee  page  vil] 

I  BELIEVE  IN  One  God  the  Father  Almighty, 
Maker  of  heaven  and  earth, 
And  of  all  things  visible  and  invisible: 

And  in  One  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  the  only-begotten  Son  of  God, 

Glorified  with  the  Father  before  the  world  was  — 

The  same  was  the  Word  that  was  in  the  beginning  with  God,  and 

was  God  — 
Through  whom  all  things  were  made  : 

Who  for  us  men,  and  for  our  salvation,  came  down  from  Heaven, 
And  was  incarnate  by  the  Holy  Ghost  of  the  Virgin  Mary, 
And  was  made  Man: 

And  was  crucified  also  for  us  under  Pontius  Pilate; 
He  suffered  and  was  buried  : 

And  the  third  day  He  rose  again  according  to  the  Scriptures: 
And  ascended  into  Heaven, 
And  sitteth  at  the  right  hand  of  the  Father: 
And  He  shall  come  again  with  glory  to  judge  both  the  quick 

and  the  dead  ; 
Whose  Kingdom  shall  have  no  end. 

And  I  believe  in  the  Holy  Ghost,  the  Lord  and  Giver  of  Life, 

Who  proceedeth  from  the  Father  and  the  Son, 

Who  with  the  Father  and  the  Son  together  is  worshiped  and. 

glorified  ; 
Who  spake  by  the  Prophets. 

And  I  believe  one  catholic  and  apostolic  Church: 

I  ACKNOWLEDGE   ONE   BAPTISM  FOR  THE   REMISSION  OF   SINS: 

And  I  LOOK  for  the  Resurrection  of  the  dead  : 
And  the  Life  of  the  world  to  come.     Amen.

precious  blood  of  the  Lamb  of  God  ; 
And  be  not  angry  with  us  forever :

Son  of  God ; 

By  Thy  baptism,  fasting,  and  temptation : 

Deliver  us,  0  Lord.

blessed  to  give  than  to  receive.  -  Acts,  xx,  as 

^   Lay  not  up  for  yourselves  treasures  upon  the  earth,  where  moth  and  rust 
do  consume,  and  where  thieves  break  through  and  steal ; 
But  lay  up  for  yourselves  treasures  in  heaven,  where  neither  moth  nor  rust 

doth  consume,  and  where  thieves  do  not  break  through  nor  steal. 

Matt,  vi,  19-21 

'    Ye  know  the  grace  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ  — 
That  though  He  was  rich,  yet  for  your  sakes  He  became  poor, 
That  ye  through  His  poverty  might  become  rich.  "  Cor.  viii,  9

According  to  the  blessing  of  Jehovah  thy  God,  which  He  hath  given  thee. 

Deut.  xvi,  17 

12  Bring  ye  the  whole  tithe  into  the  treasury, 

And  prove  Me  now  herewith,  saith  Jehovah  of  hosts, 

"Whether  I  will  not  open  you  the  windows  of  heaven,  and  pour  you  out 
blessing.  Mai.  ill,  lo

toward  His  Name, 
In  that  ye  ministered  unto  the  saints,  and  still  do  minister.  Heb.  vl,  10 

15  The  ministration  of  this  service  not  only  filleth  up  the  measure  of  the  wants 

of  the  saints,  but  aboundeth  also  through  many  thanksgivings  unto  God. 

II  Cor.  ix,  12 

16  Charge  them  that  are  rich  in  this  present  world  — 
That  they  do  good,  that  they  be  rich  in  good  works. 
That  they  be  ready  to  distribute,  willing  to  communicate ; 

Laying  up  in  store  for  themselves  a  good  foundation  against  the  time  to  come, 
That  they  may  lay  hold  on  the  life  which  is  life  indeed.  i  Tim.  vi,  17

FOR   THE    POOR 

19  The  poor  shall  never  cease  out  of  the  land : 

Therefore,  I  command  thee,  saying  —  Thou  shalt  surely  open  thy  hand  unto 

thy  brother. 
To  thy  needy,  and  to  thy  poor,  in  thy  land.  Deut.  xv,  11 

20  Whoso  stoppeth  his  ears  at  the  cry  of  the  poor  — 

He  also  shall  cry,  but  shall  not  be  heard.  Prov.  xxi,  13 

21  Blessed  is  he  that  considereth  the  poor : 

Jehovah  will  deliver  him  in  the  days  of  evil.  Ps.  xli,  1 

32  It  is  written  —  He  hath  scattered  abroad,  he  hath  given  to  the  poor ; 
His  righteousness  abideth  forever.  11  Cor.  ix,  9

brethren,  even  these  least,  ye  did  it  unto  Me.  Matt,  xxv,  40

There  is  that  maketh  himself  poor,  yet  hath  great  wealth.  Prov.  xiu,  7 

34  The  merciful  man  doeth  good  to  his  own  soul. 

He  that  hath  a  bountiful  eye  shall  be  blessed.  Prov.  xi,  7 :  xxii,  9 

35  Hear  the  word  of  the  Lord  Jesus : 
Thou  shalt  be  blessed  5 

Because  the  poor,  the  maimed,  the  lame,  the  blind,  have  not  wherewith  to 

recompense  thee : 
For  thou  shalt  be  recompensed  in  the  resurrection  of  the  just.  Lt.  xiv,  14

And  through  Thine  own  Offering  for  us  —  even  the  most  holy  Sacrifice  in  Thy 
Son  —  bestow  on  us  Thy  Spirit ; 

That  we,  offering  ourselves  also  unto  Thee,  may  be  accepted  now  and  ever : 

In  the  Name  of  the  Lord  Jesus :  [au]    Amen.

I  23ititiing  to  tje  Eorti'je^  ^ujjper 

Minister,  announcing  that  "the  Lord's  Table  Is  here  spread,"  Invites  and  exhorts  all  Christ's 
disciples  present;  using  these  words,  or  such  other  words  relative  to  this  Ordinance  as  are 
according  to  Holy  Scripture : 
[The  portions  in  brackets  are  omitted  at  discretion] 

In  the  day  when  the  Lord  Jesus  rose  again  from  the  dead,  at  eventide  when 
His  disciples  were  gathered  together.  Behold,  He  Himself  stood  in  the  midst  of 
them  —  according  to  His  promise  —  and  saith  unto  them.  Peace  be  unto  you. 

Since  we  also  are  gathered  together  in  His  Name,  let  the  eyes  of  our  faith  be 
opened  to  behold  Him  present  with  us,  that  He  may  be  known  of  us  in  the  breaking 
of  the  bread, 

For  we  are  to  consider  in  our  hearts,  Beloved  in  the  Lord,  that  this  Table  here 
spread  before  us  in  our  pilgrimage  through  this  world,  is  the  Table  of  our  Savior 
and  Master,  Jesus  Christ  the  Son  of  God,  who  loved  us  and  gave  Himself  up  for 


THE   COMMUNION   AT   THE   LORD'S   TABLE  393 

us  —  dying  for  our  sins,  according  to  tlie  will  of  our  God  and  Father.  For  on  the 
night  before  our  Lord  Jesus  was  delivered  to  be  crucified,  He  in  His  tender  love 
and  care  ordained  this  Supper  for  His  first  friends  who  believed  on  Him,  and  for 
"  them  also  who  should  believe  on  Him  through  their  word." 

Whatever  we  do  at  this  table,  therefore,  we  do  it  as  His  disciples ;  we  do  it,  as 
He  Himself  said,  "  in  remembrance  of  Him." 

[Our  Lord  Jesus,  who  has  now  gone  up  above  all  heavens,  and  is  exalted  ia 
the  glory  of  the  Father  —  and  yet  manifests  Himself  by  the  Holy  Spirit  in  His 
Church  through  all  days — declares  this  Supper  to  be  the  communion  of  all  His 
disciples  in  His  Body  and  His  Blood  ;  stDl  further  teaching  through  His  apostle 
Paul,  that  all  who  sit  in  faith  at  His  Table  do  so  partake  of  Christ  Jesus  that  they 
themselves  become  joined  together  in  Him  as  One  Body  —  dying  unto  sin  in  His 
death,  living  anew  and  nourished  unto  God  from  His  Life.  Yet  that  so  great  a 
mystery  of  eternal  grace  be  not  a  cause  of  our  stumbling.  He  gives  us  plainly  to 
know  that  this  our  commxinion  in  Him  is  not  a  mere  bodUy  partaking,  but  is  of 
the  spirit  through  the  body  j  for  He  saith  —  "  It  is  the  spirit  that  quickeneth ;  the 
flesh  proflteth  nothing."] 

Know  then,  all  you  who  are  Christ's  disciples,  that  He  gives  you  place  at  this 
Table  —  even  every  one,  however  weak,  who  believing  with  the  heart  on  Him, 
stands  in  the  confession  of  His  Name  before  men.  For,  if  we  be  sincere  toward 
God,  our  comfort  is  this  —  that  "  His  Spirit  also  helpeth  our  infirmity."  [Know 
this  moreover :  that  all  you  here  are  even  made  priests  unto  God ;  since  all  our 
Lord's  disciples,  even  the  least,  are  called  "to  be  a  holy  priesthood,  to  offer  up 
spiritual  sacrifices,  acceptable  to  God  through  Jesus  Christ."] 

Considering  these  things  in  our  hearts,  Beloved  in  the  Lord,  let  us  all  now 
partake  with  faith  —  first  receiving  grace  that  we  may  now  be  stirred  up  within 
om'selves  into  love  toward  God  our  Father  and  unto  charity  with  all  men.  Let  our 
partaking  at  this  Table  be  in  self -recollection,  penitence,  and  prayer ;  unto  godly 
obedience ;  with  thankfulness  and  praise,  and  with  a  joyful  hope.  *'  For  as  often 
as  we  eat  this  bread  and  drink  the  cup,  we  proclaim  the  Lord's  death,  till  He  come.'''' 
Behold !  He  is  coming !  in  the  fullness  of  the  times  He  shall  be  revealed  from  the 
heavens  ia  the  glory  of  the  Father,  to  take  us  unto  Himself.

9  Then  —  the  Deacons  being  seated  In  their  places  near— the  Minister  distributes  to  them 

10  Afterward,  Minister  sitting  at  the  Table,  may  thus  say,  if  he  so  choose  —  [Lk,  xxil,  29, 30] 

After  the  Supper,  the  Lord  Jesus  said  unto  the  disciples : 

I  appoint  unto  you  that  ye  may  eat  and  drink  at  My  Table  in  My  Kingdom. 


At  discretion,  during  distribution  of  the  Bread  any  of  these,  or  like  Sentences,  may  be  recited 

1  The  Bread  which  we  break,  is  it  not  a  communion  of  the  Body  of  Christ  ? 

I  Cor.  X,  16 

2  We  who  are  many,  are  one  Bread,  one  Body ;  for  we  all  partake  of  the  one 

Bread.  i  cor.  x,  n 

The  word  of  our  Lord  Jesus : 

I  am  the  Living  Bread  which  came  down  out  of  Heaven : 

Yea,  and  the  Bread  which  I  will  give  is  My  flesh,  for  the  life  of  the  world. 

4  Our  Lord  Jesus  saith :  '    ' 
As  the  Living  Father  sent  Me,  and  I  live  because  of  the  Father ; 

So  he  that  eateth  Me,  he  also  shall  live  because  of  Me.  jn.  vi,  57 

5  Thus  saith  our  Lord  Jesus : 

My  Father  giveth  you  the  true  Bread  out  of  Heaven : 

For  the  Bread  of  God  is  that  which  cometh  down  out  of  Heaven,  and  giveth 
life  unto  the  world.  jn.  yj^  32,  33 

B    Christ,  His  own  self,  bare  our  sins  in  His  Body  upon  the  tree  ; 

By  whose  stripes  we  were  healed.  i  pet.  ii,  24 

7  Hear  Christ's  own  word  concerning  Himself  : 

The  Son  of  Man  came  to  give  His  life  a  ransom  for  many.  Matt,  xx,  28 

8  Before  our  eyes  Jesus  Christ  is  openly  set  forth  crucified.  oai.  iU,  1 

9  By  the  will  of  God  we  have  been  sanctified  through  the  offering  of  the  body 

of  Jesus  Christ  once  for  all.  Heb.  x,  10 

10    Christ,  when  He  had  offered  one  sacrifice  for  sins  forever,  sat  down  at  the 
right  hand  of  God  : 
For  by  one  offering  He  hath  perfected  forever  them  that  are  sanctified. 

Heb.  X,  12.  li

5  Deacons  distribute,  first  to  Minister,  then  to  Congregation. 

6  During  distribution,  the  Minister  sitting  at  the  Table,  may  utter  slowly  and  solemnly  at  intervals 

appropriate  Sentences  of  Holy  Scripture,  if  he  so  choose :  but  much  of  the  time  should  be 
in  stillness 

7  Any  communicant  omitted  may  signify  it  by  rising. 

8  After  distribution,  the  Deacons  return  the  cups  into  the  hands  of  the  Minister  standing,  who 

replaces  them  on  the  Table. 

9  Then— the  Deacons  being  seated  in  their  places  near- the  Minister  distributes  to  them— 

10  Afterward,  Minister  standing  at  the  Table,  may  thus  say,  if  he  so  choose  —  [Rev.  xix,  9] 

A  VOICE  from  Heaven : 

Write,  Blessed  are  they  who  are  bidden  to  the  Marriage  Supper  of  the  Lamb  : 
These  are  true  words  of  God. 


At  discretion,  during  distribution  of  the  Cup  any  of  these,  or  like  Sentences,  may  be  recited 

1  The  Cup  of  blessing  which  we  bless,  is  it  not  a  communion  of  the  blood  of 

Christ  *?  I  Cor.  X,  16 

2  Precious  blood,  as  of  a  Lamb  without  blemish  and  without  spot, 
Even  the  blood  of  Christ,  slain  from  before  the  foundation  of  the  world. 

I  Pet.  1, 19,  20 ;  Rev.  xiii,  8 

3  The  blood  of  Christ,  who  through  the  eternal  Spirit  offered  Himself  without 

blemish  unto  God.  Heb.  ix,  14 

4  Thus  saith  Jehovah  unto  Moses : 
The  life  of  the  flesh  is  in  the  blood : 

It  is  the  blood  that  maketh  atonement  for  your  souls  by  reason  of  the  life. 

Lev.  xvii,  11 

5  Apart  from  shedding  of  blood  there  is  no  remission.  Heb.  ix,  22 

6  Now  in  Christ  Jesus  we  that  once  were  far  off  are  made  nigh  in  the  blood  of 

Christ.  Eph.  ii,  13 


400  THE   COMMUNION  AT  THE  LORD'S   TABLE 

7  The  blood  of  Jesus,  the  Son  of  God,  cleanseth  us  from  all  sin.  i  Ju.  i,  7 

8  Christ  suffered  for  sins  once,  the  righteous  for  the  unrighteous, 

That  He  might  bring  us  to  God.  i  Pet.  m,  is 

9  Faithful  is  the  saying,  and  worthy  of  all  acceptation, 

That  Christ  Jesus  came  into  the  world  to  save  sinners.  i  Tim.  i,  is 

10  Of  God  are  we  in  Christ  Jesus, 

Who  was  made  unto  us  wisdom  from  God,  and  righteousness  and  sanctifica-

This  Hymn,  preferably  In  meter,  but  which  may  be  In  chant,  or  an  anthem,  should  express  the

See  Israel's  gentle  Shepherd  stand, 

With  all  inviting  charms ! 
Hark  !  how  He  calls  the  tender  lambs, 

And  folds  them  in  His  arms ! 

II  H^atrant 


2  We  bring  them.   Lord,  with    fervent 
And  yield  them  up  to  Thee  ;      [prayer, 

Joyful  that  we  ourselves  are  Thine, 
Thine  let  our  offspring  be  ! 

Philip  Doddridge,  D.  D.,  1740. 
[Matt.  X,  32  :  Lk.  ix,  48] 


Our  Lord  Jesus  —  who  saith,  Every  one  who  shall  confess  Me  before  men,  him 
will  I  also  confess  before  My  Father  who  is  in  heaven  —  saith  also,  Whosoever  shall 
receive  a  little  child  in  My  Name  receiveth  Me. 

Hear  this  record  :  [From  Matt,  xix,  13-15;  Mk.  x,  la-io:  Lk.  xviii.  15, 10] 

They  were  bringing  unto  Him  also  their  babes,  that  He  should  lay  His  hands 
on  them,  and  pray  :  and  the  disciples  rebuked  them. 

But  when  Jesus  saw  it.  He  was  moved  with  indignation,  and  said.  Suffer  the 
little  children  to  come  unto  Me,  and  forbid  them  not ;  for  to  such  belongeth  the 
Kingdom  of  God : 

And  He  took  them  in  His  arms,  and  blessed  them,  lajdng  His  hands  upon  them. 

[All  the  reinaiuder  of  the  Warrant  may  usually  be  omitted:  if  any  part  be  used,  the  first  section 
is  preferable] 

Hear  also  this  record  of  the  most  ancient  Church  of  God  : 

God  Almighty  said  to  the  patriarch  Abraham :  I  will  estabUsh  My  covenant 
between  Me  and  thee  and  thy  seed  after  thee  throughout  their  generations  for  an 
everlasting  covenant,  to  be  a  God  unto  thee  and  to  thy  seed  after  thee. 

And  God  gave  him  the  covenant  of  circumcision. 

For  I  have  known  him,  saith  Jehovah,  to  the  end  that  he  may  command  his 
children  and  his  household  after  him,  that  they  may  keep  the  way  of  Jehovah. 

[Geii.  xvii,  7:  xviii,  19:  Acts,  vii,  8] 

Wherefore,  after  many  generations,  Jehovah  by  the  mouth  of  His  prophet 
reminds  His  wayward  people  —  [ig,  xU^  g] 

Thou,  Israel,  My  servant, 
Jacob  whom  I  have  chosen. 

The  seed  of  Abraham  My  friend. 
Also  the  Psahnist  bears  witness, —  [Ps.  ixxviti,  5-7] 

Jehovah  established  a  testimony  in  Jacob, 

And  appointed  a  law  in  Israel, 
Which  He  commanded  our  fathers, 

That  they  should  make  them  known  to  their  children  : 
That  the  generation  to  come  might  know  them, 

Even  the  children  who  should  be  born  ; 
Who  should  arise  and  declare  them  to  their  children, 
That  they  might  set  their  hope  in  God. 


MINISTEATION   OF   THE  BAPTISM  OF  LITTLE   CHILDEEN  403 

Consider  that  not  less,  nor  less  sure,  are  the  promises  and  gifts  of  the  New 
Covenant  in  the  Son  of  God. 

Thence,  Christ's  apostle  Paul  thus  declares  concerning  the  households  of 
behevers :  The  unbeheving  husband  is  sanctified  [i.  e.  outwardly]  in  the  wife,  and 
the  unbelieving  wife  is  sanctified  [i.  e.  outwardly]  in  the  brother  [i.  e.  the  believing 
husband] :  else  were  your  children  unclean :  but  now  are  they  holy  [i.  e.  consecrated 

to  God].  [I  Cor.  vii,  1-2-141 

Also  this  is  the  word  of  Christ's  apostle  Peter :  To  you  is  the  promise,  and  to 
your  children.  [Acts,  ii,  39] 


III  ^ahitation 

Beloved  :  Grace  and  peace  to  you  and  to  your  household  [s] : 
In  the  Name  op  the  Lord  Jesus. 

IV  Confc^jefion  of  Cljn^t 

With  us,  and  with  the  Church  in  every  age  and  in  every  place,  you  openly 
confess  Jesus,  the  Christ,  the  Son  of  the  Living  God : 

[Assent  by  the  parents  or  guardians  —joining  with  Minister ]  Amen. 

V  ^.npti^nial  Cotjcnant 

PROPOSITION 

Seeing  that  Christ  our  Savior  kindly  receives  httle  children,  you  would  that 
yours  also  might  now  be  received  of  Him : 

And  for  a  pledge  of  your  faith  that  he  receives  your  offspring  you  cause  your 
little  one  [s]  here  to  be  sealed  in  Baptism ;  yet  not  trusting  to  this  outward  sign, 
but  looking  to  the  grace  which  it  signifies. 

COVENANT 

If  in  the  Baptismal  group  thei'e  he  more  than  one  household,  the  Minister  prefaces  the  covenant 
with  these  words  — 

[Since  here  is  a  group  of  households,  the  Baptismal  covenant  now  to  be  made 
is  entered  into  in  behalf  of  every  several  child  by  its  respective  parents]  or 
[guardians] , 

And  now,  in  faith  dedicating  [this  child]  or  [these,  your  children]  [respectively] 
to  the  Lord  your  God,  you  covenant  — 

To  bring  up  [this  little  one]  or  [these  little  ones]  in  the  nurture  and  admonition 
of  the  Lord ; 

To  instruct  [this  child]  or  [them]  in  the  gospel  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ ; 
And  to  pray  and  labor  in  faith  that  —  through  regeneration  by  the  Holy 
Spirit  —  [this  child]  or  [these  children]. 

Turning  from  an  ungodly  world  — 
Denying  the  lusts  of  the  flesh  — 
Renouncing  the  works  of  the  devU  — 
Be  brought  to  beheve  on  the  Son  of  God  and  to  confess  His  Name ; 
Be  grafted  into  the  Body  of  Christ,  which  is  His  Church  j 


404  MINISTRATION   OF  THE  BAPTISM   OF  LITTLE   CHILDREN 

And  be  evermore  inclined  and  led  of  God  to  walk  in  the  covenant  of  His  grace

water  — therewith  pronouncing  the  Baptismal  name,  and  declaring  the  Baptism  according 

to  Matt,  xxviii,  19  — 

I  Baptize  this  child  [the  Baptismal  name]  into  the  Name  of  the  Father  and 
of  the  Son  and  of  the  Holy  Spirit :  f  All]      Amen. 

BAPTISMAL  PRAYER 

After  all  the  Baptisms  —  while  the  Baptismal  group  remain  standing,  and  the  congregation 
kneel  or  bow  down  — Minister  offers  a  short  prayer  of  the  purport  following  — 

1  Thanksgiving  —  to  God  who  gathers  His  Church  on  earth : 

—  for  the  privilege  of  God's  people  to  bring  their  offspring 
with  them  in  the  covenant. 

2  Supplication  —  for  all  httle  children,  that   God  may  call  them  into  the 

household  of  His  Son  :

That  God's  providence  may  spare,  guide,  bless : 
That  the  parents  may  have  grace  to  fulfiU  their  vows : 
That  the  Holy  Spirit  may  early  work  renewal  —  and  thence,  per- 
sonal faith  and  confession  of  Christ,  union  with  Him  in  His  visible

Response. 

Behold  therefore :  the  Church  —  the  larger  household  — stands,  testifying  that 
it  has  place  for  little  ones : 

Because  our  Master,  who  hath  gone  up  on  high,  saith  that  whosoever  receiveth 
little  ones  in  His  Name,  receiveth  Him ;  we  receive  [this  child]  or  [these  children]

Savior  !  who  Thy  flock  art  feeding 

With  the  shepherd's  kindest  care, 
All  the  feeble  gently  leading. 

While  the  lambs  Thy  bosom  share : 
Now,  our  little  ones  receiving. 

Fold  them  in  Thy  gracious  arm  ; 
There,  we  know.  Thy  word  believing. 

Only  there,  secure  from  harm. 


2  Never,  from  Thy  pasture  roving, 

Let  them  be  the  lion's  prey : 
Let  Thy  tenderness,  so  loving. 

Keep  them  all  life's  dangerous  way. 
Then  within  Thy  fold  eternal. 

Let  them  find  a  resting-place, 
Feed  in  pastures  ever  vernal. 

Blest  with  vision  of  Thy  face, 

William  Augustus  Muhlenberg,  D.  D.     1826.

IX    ^VMt  Us-  ^1- 11 :  Ps-  ciii'  1'^'  18]  All  still  standing 

The  Lord  Jehovah  shall  feed  His  flock  like  a  shepherd : 
He  shall  gather  the  lambs  in  His  arm, 

And  carry  them  in  His  bosom. 
The  lovingkiadness  of  Jehovah  is  from  everlasting  to  everlasting 
upon  them  that  fear  Him, 

And  His  righteousness  unto  children's  children  — 
To  such  as  keep  His  covenant. 

And  to  those  that  remember  His  precepts  to  do  them. 

AN  APOSTOLIC  BENEDICTION  [From  ii  Thees.  ill,  17] 

The  grace  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ  be  with  you  all  forever.        (au]    Amen.

To  he  said  responsively :  but  if  there  be  no  song  to  follow  immediately  in  resuming  a  general 
service,  then  this  may  be  sung,  or  said  in  imison,  by  All. 

One  generation  shall  laud  Thy  works  to  another,  |  0  Je-  |  hovah.
